EDIT2: After causing you all the trouble I should tell you that it works now. My map was properly georeferenced in the first place but I must somehow have messed up the georeference when changing it from UTM to EPSG. I can't figure how that happened though, so this can't even serve to warn others...

EDIT: My mistake must have occurred before converting so I have probably messed up the georeferencing, so it's not really a topic for this forum, sorry.

Thanks again, and to you too Peter, but right you are - the position of the controls must be correct, so if I use your workaround, the map will be correctly aligned but the controls will still be wrong (unless I give up on using PurplePen for coursesetting?).
This is what I did:
1) Created map at scale 1:5000 in OOMapper based on OSM import - so should be georeferenced?
2) Changed georeferencing to 3857 with no declination
3) created course in PurplePen
4) exported map to jpg 150dpi + jgw and converted to kmz via o-utils
5) exported course to gpx and converted to kml via the widmann tool
6) set up in checksites
(7,8,9, tried with rotations, different scales...)
-> Result as above: controls are correct within the map, but map&controls together are in the wrong position. That's why I wondered: where does the scale come in? Has that information got lost along the way somewhere? Does the scale compensation in the OOMapper georeferencing dialog play a role in this? Or where did I miss something?
