Installation of LOTR Map is easy. You only have to unzip all the files.
Important: the .dat and .map files have to be in the same directory as the executable, otherwise the program won't work. The program will create an .ini file called lotrmap.ini in its own directory.
To remove LOTR Map from your computer you only have to delete the files mentioned above and the .ini file. LOTR Map does not create registry keys, nor does it place files in your windows or windows\system directory.

It's very likely that I'll make updates for this program. I will put those on my website and, as you already have the map you will only have to download the update.

It's very easy to modify the .dat files. I encourage everyone to do so. The lists contain now about 145 places and that's not enough of course. I will put all .dat files that you send me on my website so that everyone can download them.
