Hi Lady Archer - the FG Meanders Map Packs provide ungridded maps designed for a 50-60px grid within FG. Inside FG you lay your own grid over the maps using the tools provided by the program - when you size the square to 50px it will give you a grid perfectly designed to match the Meanders Map. Your tokens will then snap to the grid in that default size - however if some tokens are larger than others they should automatically adjust, from memory. Otherwise, it is simple enough to hold your mouse over a token and hold CTRL while you scroll your mousewheel up or down to change the tokens size, and you can tap the mousewheel or middle button and CTRL to return it to default size as a bit of a shortcut as well. Hope this helps

Tokens are scaled on a gridded map according to the size of the creature. So a medium creature takes one square, a large one 4 squares and anything bigger 9 squares. It doesn't matter what the actual size of the tokens are as long as you have a grid on the map and a size on the creature.

Thanks so much everyone! I am running a module that needed some supplemental maps. I had never added my own map before. I appreciate all your help!

Yeah, that works but it also forces you to add the player's tokens again on each and every map you open. I think if you would provide each map as a standalone image so we could piece them together, that would be great. This is in reply to Kris up above that said you can place shortcut pins on each map to open the next one.

Sorry, I'm replying twice. The first time I forgot to put in your quote. Even though we're able to do that with the shortcuts, it forces you to add everyone's tokens on each and every map. It would be great if each pack provided standalone images so we could piece them together in another program.
