I am a new user to QGIS, and interested in making referenced pdf maps for Avenza App. I find this app excellent out in the middle of no where as the GPS on my phone places me on the map. I tend to be rather adventurous, and often can find images of maps for places I travel, but not with the geo referencing. I have tried to use QGIS and was able to make images with references, but when using print composer to save the pdf, Avenza says the map is not referenced. :(<br>
<br>
Obviously I am not doing something correctly, could some one give me a short tutorial or point me to a tutorial?<br>
<br>
I have attached link of a map of interest.<br>
