Thanks for the heads up! The window to apply for beta has closed, but I went ahead and applied for the passthrough auto-alignment anyways!
I download a high quality PNG map from SnazzyMaps https://snazzymaps.com/style/79/black-and-white then Trace, but you are right, I am almost doing it backwards as the high quality PNG is clear enough to work!
Would you recommend that I make the bitmap image to size then crop the image at
0" - 9" then 9.001" - 18" ?
Thanks for taking it to 11 @chris1 !
