7.4   List of open maps

The List of open maps function allows you to see a list of all the maps that you currently have loaded on the screen and see all their names, scales, calibration priority (marked with an asterisk) and memory in use.

You can also open another map, close the map you have selected, store the map in an .ecw format, view the properties of the selected map or send it to CompePocket. To open this list, select the menu option ‘Maps > List of open maps’.

From here you can:

•     Open a map: Open another map from your map file.

•     Close a map: Close one of the maps loaded on the screen, once you have selected it from the list.

•     Properties of the map: To view the properties of the map you have selected from the list.

•     Establish as primary map: Select a map as primary map. If a calibration conflict arises, the other maps will adapt themselves to this map (only applies in very large or very distant map.

•     Save as *.ECW format: To create a new copy of the map in *.ECW format. ECW is a data compression system that allows for a quicker access to maps that use a lot of memory.

•     Close: To close the List of open maps window.

•     Send to CompePocket: To send the map to CompePocket.

•     Bring to front/Send behind: The buttons representing these operations are located in the centre of the screen (an arrow pointing up and another pointing down).

If you choose a map from the list and you click on the arrow pointing upwards, the map will raise one layer up, laying on top of the other maps lower down on the list. In this way, the map at the top of the list will not be covered by any other map. The arrow pointing downwards has the opposite function. 3D maps have their own list: ‘Main menu > 3D Landscapes > List of Open Landscapes’.

This window allows you to carry out several operations by clicking on the corresponding buttons:

•     Open Landscape: To load or add a new landscape to the screen.

•     Join these *.CDEM: If you have more than one landscape open at the same time and you want to work with them as if they were just one landscape, click on this button and give the joined landscape file a name.
