Any map that is not currently being displayed can be unloaded by selecting
Maps/Unload map/<map name>. This removes the map from the Glmpc Terminal Map
combobox.
Once a map has been loaded into the Glmpc Terminal, it can be
exported
onto the Dock
Server to which the terminal is connected (see next section for connecting to a Dock
Server). This is particularly useful for sharing locally created maps with other users,
since once a map has been exported to a Dock Server it can be loaded from any Glmpc
Terminal connected to that Dock Server. A map can be exported using the following
steps:
1.
Make sure that the map to export is displayed, and that the Glmpc Terminal is
connected to the Dock Server to which the map is to be exported.
2.
Select Maps/Export Map, from the Glmpc Terminal's menu bar.
3.
After a brief delay, a dialog will indicate whether the map has been successfully
exported or not.
Note that other Glmpc Terminal users will have to connect (or reconnect) to the Dock
Server in order to then load the exported map.
It is sometimes useful to add visible reference points to the currently displayed map.
This can be achieved by selecting Maps/Draw Reference Point, from the Glmpc
Terminal’s menu bar. The resulting dialog (shown in Figure 68) appears, requesting the
user to enter the reference point latitude and longitude, in the ISO format
±DDMM.MMM, ±DDDMM.MMM.
