Geographic Coordinates of Map in WGS84

Coordinates of map boundaries in WGS84 (south, north, west east). User can edit these coordinates directly to georeference the map, but it is correct approach only if raster image contains map in WGS84 (no projection) and the image is rectified. Preferred method to georeference map is use of the main menu > Image > Calibration tool.
