Creating new Single Player Maps?

[Nanuuq]

Is it possible to use a topographical map as a backround to create new maps for Mow: Assault Squad?

Also, are there any tutorials for making realistic looking beaches for new maps? I would like to re-create many new Pacific Theatre maps, as my father is a USMC vet that fought on Tarawa, Tinian, Saipan, Roi Namur and Iwo Jima. The beaches that I have been making so far are ok at best. I am having touble with coastline depths.

Thank you very much for your time and effort.

I do not think there is a way to upload topographical maps, its all GEM editor and your own understanding of that Editor. It seems to be all hit and miss, just move the map around until you get it how you want it. I would love to know some of the more in depth tricks as well.....
