small corrections for koepret's post:
1.) OK
2.) OK
3.) Do "Georeferencing" of your GIF (or JPG, TIFF, other raster picture) file with special programs which results in additional file with TAB extension. "Georeferencing" is done by common GIS programs like globalmapper, mapinfo, etc.. use Google for finding guidleines..
4.) Import your TAB file TOGETHER with associated GIF file (or JPG, TIFF, other raster picture) to atoll....

the rest you already know...
