Map Window
The Map Window and the Zoom Window are identical in that they both display the digital terrain model as a plan view.
Strictly there is not a separate Map Window as a Zoom Window can become a Map Window by loading a project map.
The Map Window does not require North to be up the page. The map can be to any scale and may be aerial photographs, development plans, cadastral plans, etc. Providing the image is in jpg or bmp file formats.
The Map View is also available in the Report Working Area and the File Import Working Area.
There are various options to display the data described in this section. The zoom window is created by selecting the menu item or the button on the Program Toolbar.
