trouble creating a map file

« on: August 27, 2008, 03:19:18 PM »

I just installed my trial version, but I don't come beyond this point in the software tour:

For ease of use I zoom out until I can see them both, and turn on Labels for Places. I then use the Action-> Select -> Type menu to change the selection type to Rectangles. With a few taps on the screen, i define some overlapping rectangles.
The problem is I don't get any icons displayed like "S.P" or "river", so I'm unable to define my required map. The place finder itself works as supposed to.

May anybody help me out?

Regards,
KingGeorge

If the placefinder works as its supposed to, you should be able to choose one of the places found, push okay, and find it centered on the map. Turning on Program->View->Labels under places turns on the captions.

If you need to find some places that you have already added to the map, the easiest thing is to use Action->List->Places. Then you can choose one and Center on it.
