Using this Map Exchange
This area is for sharing CompendiumLD maps. On the left hand side you will see a menu. If you are not logged in you will only have Browse Maps available. If you are logged in you will also have access to the Share Maps option.
Browse Maps lists any maps that have been uploaded to this map share. You will be able to view the uploaded mays either as a Map view or as an Outline view.
You can download an XML zip file of the map data and resource which you can then import into CompendiumLD. Once downloaded you can drag and drop the zip file into the CompendiumLD project you want it loaded into.
Share Maps takes you to a page where you can publish your maps. You’ll need to export your map using the 'Power Export option from the Export menu (File Menu / Exports / Power Export ; you might have to click the down arrow at the bottom of the File menu to reveal the Power Export option). This export will include the Web Map and Outline HTML views and an XML zip file of the data that others can then download.
