Basic operations that can be perfomed on maps:
•Open a map:
|
|
|
|
1. On the buttons bar, press ‘Open’.
2. Select the map that you want to open.
3. Once opened, map will be displayed at map window and listed at the data tree.
•Show a list of all opened maps: This window shows you a list containing all the maps that are currently opened on Land. From this window you can carry out several actions on maps.
|
|
|
|
•Zoom to a specific map: Focus the selected map at map window in just a click.
|
|
|
|
•2D/3D view: Press ‘2D > 3D’ button at the tool bar to switch between viewing modes.
|
|
|
Land offers several visualizing modes so you have the most adequate perspective in each moment.
1. ‘2D flat’ mode: Zenith plan.
2. ‘3D flat’ mode: Trimensional flat image with a perspective.
3. ‘3D relief’ mode: Orography of the terrain in real 3D (vectorial maps will not be displayed in 3D). This mode can only be displayed if you load:
•3D relief map (*.CDEM)
•Raster map (normally *.RMAP or *.ECW)
If no 3D relief map is available, the 3D view will be flat. Use the mouse to control movement in 3D. By holding down each mouse button and moving it you will get different effects: move, rotate, ascent, descent, zoom in, zoom out...

•Open the best map for a certain area: Land will automatically look for the map with best definition for the chosen point.
|
|
•Establish map as index: If you work most of the time with the same map, Land offers you the possiblity to open that map in just a click instead of having to search for the map each time you run Land. Assign your most-commonly used map as ‘Index map’:
1. At the data tree, open the contextual menu on ‘Maps’ and select ‘Open index map’.
2. Select the map that you want to set as ‘Index map’.
3. You have just defined this map as ‘Index map’.
4. As from now, next time you click ‘Open index map’ Land will open this map automatically.
•Establish map as primary: If a calibration conflict arises, the other maps will adapt themselves to the map set as primary.
•Bring map to front/Send map to back: With Land you can load more than one map at the same time, but if you have two maps for the same area displayed at the same time, one of them can be displayed at the top by superposition so that you can use both maps at the same time.
|
|
|
IMPORTANT: If a vectorial roadmap is superimposed on any other type (topographic, orthophoto ...) the two maps will be viewed together, simultaneously showing the roads from the first map and the relief from the second.
•Draw map corners: Land draws at the map window the frames for all loaded maps.
|
|
|
•Map transparency: With Land you can load more than one map at the same time, but if you have two maps for the same area displayed at the same time, one of them can be displayed using a certain transparency so that you can use both maps at the same time.
|
|
|
•Send & Share: Depending on the selected element, Land offers you the possibility to send or share the map in which you are working in to several destinations in just a click:
•To connected devices (GPS, smartphones...)
•To internet servers (Dropbox, GPX-View, GPSies, EveryTrail…)
•To any of the folders of your computer
•By e-mail
