I notice some of the demo maps allow scrolling... the map is bigger than the window. Can this be done on hand drawn maps? I didn't see a way to.

You can't scroll hand drawn stuff at the moment. We'd like to see this feature as well... There are two problems we have to solve first with regard to the user interface. First, you should be able to expand the image in any direction you wish (I see this most useful when you've drawn a map to the edge of the window and want to draw "a little more in that direction") and second, you should not lose track of where you are on a large image.

I have a couple of ideas on how to get this done, but simple scrolling in the manner bitmap based images currently have isn't really feasible.
