## 3 steps to generate maps

1. [Create account](/gcs-software/legacy-software/theseus-maps-app/create-account.md)
2. [Generate maps](/gcs-software/legacy-software/theseus-maps-app/generate-maps.md)
3. [Download maps](/gcs-software/legacy-software/theseus-maps-app/download-maps.md)

## Why do I need this?

Theseus Micro VPS **requires pre-processed satellite imagery** to perform map matching. Micro VPS can store up to 50,000 sq. km of map area for any mission (e.g. 20 km x 2500 km area). The map app allows you to generate and download these maps before your mission.

To learn more about Micro VPS and our map matching technology visit the [Technology page on Theseus' website](https://www.theseus.us/technology).&#x20;
