5.4   Map configuration

 

To change map default settings:

 

     When setting the maximum number of loaded maps that can change the number of maps that can be displayed simultaneously on the screen.

 

     User can also set the maps’ maximum cache memory of from the 'Options' menu. So you can graduate the ability for remote memory.

 

     The section maximum memory for maps you can limit the amount of memory that you computer will use to manage maps. The default value of this section is 0, meaning that there is no limit established to memory used for maps.

 

NOTE: Situate the maximum memory for maps to a value lower than the RAM installed in your computer (128, 256, 512…) if you do notice that the systems is working too slowly.

 

     Remote maps: When using remote maps (through Internet), you can choose to save downloaded sections in local hard drive so they can be accessed faster or even when there is not Internet connection. You can choose the folder to save those sections and limit the size of the folder. When limit size is reached, older files will be deleted.

 

     It is very important to select the right location to store map’s cache. The user can define the folder where the maps will be saved.

 

     You can also set a maximum size for map’s cache folder.

 

     The user can decide whether to display maps at the data tree keeping their original agruptations in folder structures, or not. If ‘Show folder structure’ is not enabled, maps will be presented at the same structure level with no folder agrupations: all maps will be listed together.

 

     An antialiasing system has been developed so vectorial map lines are can be presented much smoother improving their visual aspect.

 

     *.IMG/*.MP import: *.XML files with layer configuration information can be used. In case to be used in TwoNav, map needs to be saved as *.MPVF file.
