I've decided to stick with the base image for the time being, especially since there is a limit to how large the images can be which G.Projector can import.
I've managed to add my first two locations to the map, and then came up with a Equidistant Conic map projection (generated by G. Projector) of the region which I quite like.
Code:
Centered on Lon: 140 °E, Lat -60 °N
Std. Par 1: -48 °N, Std. Par. 2: -72 °N, Height: 40 °
Autoset Parallels
The only thing I don't like is the resolution of the image - the labels are barely readable. This isn't
too much of a problem - my main goal is to use QGIS for putting down points on the map, ensuring that they have the correct geographical relationships to each other, and then get map projections that I can "draw over" with other mapping tools. Still, I'll have to see if I can increase the resolution for exports of such "regional maps" further...
EDIT: Yup, exporting a smaller geographical area with QGIS works fine, since G.Projector can import "partial" maps.
