Both versions are filed under the product "Xpress-Maps" in the Casablanca Image Pool -
the multicolored versions under the classification “Images”, the two-colored versions un-
der the classification “Masks”. This enables them to be used from other programs as well.
To select a map, click on the “Select map” button in the relevant mode (Transitional effect
or “New” in the menu). If you first want to view the selection of maps available, switch to
the product “Xpress-Maps”.
Please note that, in cases where there is no sea (for example, Southern Germany or
Switzerland), the normally two-colored masks are all white. They are only included in this
classification in order to ensure that a complete selection is available.
