Create a map
Use map menu to create a new map. An empty map opens.
First select Map_menu->Set_size... Size of map should correspond to the background image size that you assign next. Otherwise background picture will be streched to align the map size.
Then select Map_menu->Set_picture... Use file selection dialog to define the background map. Many pixel graphic formats are supported (bmp, jpg, png, gif). Graphic files are always uploaded to \server\data\maps\ folder even if they were selected from a client. Then application takes care of the syncronization of the content of \server\data\maps\ and \client\data\maps\. This is hidden for the user and commissioner. This technic provides that the map images are not always transfered beetwen server and client. Syncronized copies are stored in a local client folder.
Then set the name of the map at the bottom of the map window. Here you can assign the current map to a group. Map groups can be defined in Menu->Maps->New_map_group...
Always save the map using Map_Menu->Save... In the caption an asterix indicate if a map has modified but still not saved.
