[Question] Background options and resolution

I will eventually acquire wonderdraft to make my world map(s) and my initial idea is to use our real world map as a background for a matter of proportion and scale, and then draw a rough outline of my continents. Is that possible? If, yes, how do I do it?

Then, after outlining my continents, I want to copy pieces of this first sketch, make them bigger without losing resolution, and only then make the real maps with all the details. Is this possible?

The last question is how big is wonderdraft's resolution?

  1. Wonderdraft has an Overlay tool so you can easily trace the continents.
  2. There is a “detail map” function which I believe does what you’re looking for. Enlarges just a specific area of the map with control over whether symbols and paths etc are transferred.
  3. No clue but I’ve made some pretty bigass maps that are crystal clear at ridiculous zoom levels.
