Installing XMap Datasets
Most of the datasets that are described in this section can be installed to your computer’s
hard drive (helpful when you want to view multiple data types in a single project) or viewed
by inserting the data DVD into the DVD drive each time you want to view the data.
XMap Datasets
If XMap is not installed before you install the data or if your version of XMap is not listed
during the install, you must use the Map Data tab in XMap to manually add the data to the
base data. For more information, see
Changing the Base Map
on page 19.
The following datasets are available: XMap USA Topographic, XMap USA Street Level, and
XMap World Base Map.
These datasets can be saved on a hard drive or run from a DVD drive. For best performance
when using the DVD from a DVD drive, first complete a Compact installation (see step 6).
Ensure XMap is installed.
