Map alignment with specific units

I have an image I'm trying to use for a map, and it has a grid. I've managed to get the grid and map aligned, but I want it BIGGER. When I try, I can't get it aligned on any other sizes. So far the map is aligned at 24 units x 30 units. I was hoping there was some sort of magic number, a multiple that would go into those two numbers that I could increase the units by in order to get the same effect, but so far nada. Any suggestoins?
Each unit is a grid square. If you make the image bigger (like say, 48 units x 60 units), there will be 4 Roll20 grid squares within each grid square on the image. Is that what you are looking for?

As Rabulias indicated, the next size that your map will align to is 48x60 units. You can set the page dimensions and then right click the map image and select Advanced-&gt;Set Dimensions to set the pixels of the map image to double their current values. Moving the map around will get it lined up again. If that results in a map that is "too big", you can chop off unused squares around the border of the map by reducing the page size and using the arrow keys to shift the map around 1 square at a time so that only the desired portion of the map is visible. If you ever have a tricky map to line up in the future, this video shows how to get almost any map with a grid lined up quickly in Roll20. <a href="https://youtu.be/Kip8clx2e-w" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/Kip8clx2e-w</a>

I've done this but it t doesn't seem to work as the distance grows larger and larger over time. You align one part at the cost of another part.

I've done this but it t doesn't seem to work as the distance grows larger and larger over time. You align one part at the cost of another part. Try using the center handles along each edge of the map to align the outermost lines of the map with the grid. It's true that doing this on larger maps can cause the line on the opposite side to shift a few pixels, but jumping back and forth will cause it to line up in a few iterations. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kip8clx2e-w&amp;t=280s" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kip8clx2e-w&amp;t=280s</a>
