Map Type Buttons
These five buttons change the way that data is displayed in the Map Window.
Spatial Map
Creates a raw data map of a spatial dataset, i.e. point data, polygons, lines, etc in their raw form.
Smart Rectangle Map
Creates a map based on spatial points plotted as rectangular objects that are created from the swath
width, distance traveled and heading (track) for the logged point. Track must be included in the dataset
being mapped to display the data as smart rectangles.
Swath Segment Map
Creates a map of the individual segments contained in a dataset. This allows the mapping of sensor data that
was logged at a higher resolution than a full swath, such as row by row. Not all data supports or contains
segment level information. To make swath segment data available you must check the "Create individual
swath segments if available" option on the GPS Settings tab when archiving files or reprocessing data and
select either to generate Section or Row level data.
Configure Swath Segment(s) Button
Allows the selection of which segments to map. You can select all, one, or a combination of
segments to display.
Grid Map

Contour Map
