How do I georeference a map?
In general, there are four steps to georeference your data:
- Add the raster dataset that you want to align with your projected data.
- Use the Georeference tab to create control points, to connect your raster to known positions in the map.
- Review the control points and the errors.
What is a georeferenced map?
A georeferenced digital map or image has been tied to a known Earth coordinate system, so users can determine where every point on the map or aerial photo is located on the Earth’s surface. …

Now you can see the map in QGIS project as a georeferenced raster. Note that the raster seems to be slightly rotated, but that is simply because the data is KKJ / Finland zone 2 and your project is in ETRS89 / ETRS-TM35FIN.
How does georeferencing work in a GIS project?
Most GIS projects require georeferencing some raster data. Georeferencing is the process of assigning real-world coordinates to each pixel of the raster. Many times these coordinates are obtained by doing field surveys – collecting coordinates with a GPS device for few easily identifiable features in the image or map.
