Sending E-maps
E-maps, also called packed maps, enable you to pack all the files (grids, images, map
objects) that are displayed on a map into a single file. This means that you don’t have to
worry about making sure all the files (such as *.GI or *.GRD files) associated with a map
are included in the e-mail. When you open an e-map in
Oasis montaj
, all the information
can be read in this format by all related functions, such as grid statistics.

Unpacking an E-map
If you receive an e-map and you would like to for example, view the grid statistic of a
displayed grid, you must first unpack the map and extract the grid file.
