Mapping Features
Mapping
The Mapping facility includes the ability to display, edit, group or
import/export mapping object symbols from a database library anywhere
within the video circle. Mapping objects are displayed in either Standby or
Transmit mode.
Apart from Navigation Marks, all other
mapping objects can only be created and
edited when
Radar Maps is selected from the Charts/Radar Maps
button.
The Mapping menu includes the following tab folders:

Display

Edit

Maps

I/O (Import/Export)
All mapping objects are initially created from the Edit folder. For
information on creating, editing and deleting mapping objects, see Editing
Maps
Other mapping objects, or groups of objects, can be imported or exported
from one workstation to another via the
Import / Export folder. For
information on importing or exporting mapping objects see Importing and
Exporting Mapping Objects.
Objects can be saved in a group called a Map, which is then named by the
operator. Maps can be added, deleted or renamed via the
Maps folder. For
information see Maps.
The display of mapping groups and object types are controlled via the
Display folder. For information see Maps Display Settings.
Multi-Node Support
Mapping Objects can be saved and retrieved from a shared database.
A mapping object can be edited by the operator when the object is in use
on another workstation. When the mapping object is saved after editing it is
updated on all other nodes, including nodes where the object is currently
being displayed.
