Map Display Area
Controlling the Content of the Map Display Area
The data displayed in the Map Display area is controlled by
the Layers List shown on the right-hand area of the main
window.
When you want one of the listed layers displayed in the Map
Display area, just fill in the check box located before this
layer name. As a result, all the items pertaining to this layer
will be shown in the Map Display area. Conversely, if you
clear the check box, none of the items pertaining to this layer
will be visible in this area.
By default, the following two layers are always displayed:
- Waypoints
- Background map
If a job is open, each feature from the feature library used in
the job also appears as a layer which can be displayed/hidden
on the Map Display area. In addition, for these layers, you
can change their look on the Map Display area by double-
clicking on their names. Different icons are available for
point features and different colors are available for line, area
and grid features.
If you import a MIF or SHP file from your GIS system, then
new layers will also be added to the Layer list.
A number of viewing options are also available from the bot-
tom of the
Options menu to let you customize the Map Dis-
play area. You can for example show/hide the grid values,
the scale interval, the feature and waypoint labels, etc.
The grid will reflect the
choice of the coordinate
system used. However,
all features will be
PLACED on the map
only based on their
WGS84 coordinates.
