5.2.1   General

 

Maps displayed at map window can be fully customized according to your needs:

 

    Mouse wheel direction: Depending on the software, the direction of the mouse wheel may be different (for example: when using ‘Zoom+’/’Zoom-‘ function). Land offers the possibility to define by default the direction that you want to use: forward or reverse direction.

 

    Scale: Show/Hide scale value at map window.

 

    Use mouse scroll arrows in window borders: When approaching the borders of the map, move the map manually or scrolling it automatically.

 

 

    Show scrolls bars: Show/Hide both scroll bars at map window.

 

 

    Map with inertia: When managing maps, Land can display an inertia effect to scroll maps faster or softer.

 

    Friction to inertia: Set the value for inertia effect.

 

    Show compass: Show/Hide compass at map window.

 

    Draw map corners: Land draws at the map window the frames for all loaded maps.

 

 

    Draw reliefs corners in 2D view: If 2D view is enabled, Land draws at the map window the frames for all loaded reliefs.

 

 

    Show POIs on map: Show/Hide POIs at map window.

 

 

    Background color: Set the background color of the map window according to your preferences.

 

 

    Anti-aliasing: Draw smoother lines in vectorial maps (*.VMAP).

 

 

    Use OpenGL in 2D: 2D maps can be represented more fluid and faster if OpenGL graphic accelerator is enabled.

 

    See Hint for objects on screen: If ‘Hint’ function is enabled, when clicking any point on the map window, Land will show useful information of the specific point that you selected.

 

 

    Hint fields: This function can be fully customized according to your will: add or exclude the data fields that later on will be displayed on the map window: map information, coordinates of this position, bearing to this position, distance to this position, altitude of this position...

 

    Configure status bar: Status bar can be configured to fit your needs, display the data fields that you really need.
