Help

 

The 'Help' tab-page provides access to a number of routines that provide help or information:

 

'Save Map as Image', 'View the License', 'Help Viewer', 'View the Version Changes', 'Register', 'Check for Updates', 'View the 'About' Window', 'View the Post Installation Notes', 'Visit the Program Website'.

 

 

 

Save Map as Image - Lets you save an image of the map, as it is currently displayed. The Time Bar, Data Bar, Info Bar, and News Ticker are not included in the image. If you need an image of everything, a screen-shot would be a better choice. The saved image can be in PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP, or TIF format. Although many people are used to automatically saving everything as a JPG, I would recommend that in this case you choose PNG. The JPG format is a lossy format, and will introduce noticeable degradation on this type of image. The saved image will be the same size as the map on your screen.
