[Qgis-user] How can I use a jpg of map as base layer & then ensure GPX waypoints match up

[Michael White]

Hello everyone. The latest map for my atoll was 1986 (paper only 1:25,000), but I have a high res jpg which I've uploaded into QGIS 2.0 OK. Map was in UTM zone 4. I have also successfully uploaded a GPX file of waypoints that I'd like to display on the map. At the moment I can still move the jpg around in the map window. What do I need to do to fix the map in place and how can I relate the waypoints (WGS84) to the map. Is there a way to select a lat/long on the map and then the same waypoint in my GPX file, thus linki9ng the two things? Thanks Michael
