Index Map
The Index Map dialog allows an OziExplorer map to be loaded and displayed. An outline of all the
maps stored in the
Search Path
will be drawn onto the loaded map. By moving the mouse over the
window the maps available are displayed as a hint and the cursor changes to a finger pointer. By
clicking the mouse all the maps available will be displayed in the map search list where the required
map can be selected.
Guidelines
The map loaded into the dialog should be small (approximately 1/4 screen size is a good guide). If
your map is larger use a program such as Paint Shop Pro to reduce it in size (if possible) and
recalibrate it. You can have a selection of maps to use as index maps depending on the area you are
working in.
Whatever map you choose to load into the index map window will be fully loaded into memory.
Highly compressed images such as BSB or JPG will take considerable time to load and require a lot
of memory.
There is a limit of 10000 maps which will be scanned in the folders and only the first 100 found
under the cursor as it is moved across the index map will be displayed as a hint but they are still
available in the map search window.
It is not always possible to display all maps on an index map or use all maps for an index map.
The corner markers of the maps must not cross the 180 degree longitude and the corner
markers must be within the mathematical limitations of the map projection being used. World
maps or continental type maps are usually the ones which do not always meet these conditions.
