With the Side Panel option you can hide and display the side panel on the right-hand side of the map.
The Tools panel provides you with controls for manipulating the map view. The function of each tool is described below.
With the Arrow tool you can select items on the map view. With the Pan tool you can scroll the map.
With the Zoom In and Zoom Out tools you can zoom the view. You can also zoom in and out on the views with the mouse wheel.
With the Area Binning tool you can define an area on a map which you can run statistics on in the form of bins. The results are displayed on the map as a new semi-transparent layer.
With the Statistics From Polygon Area tool you can specify an area of any shape, and run statistics over that area. The results are displayed in the statistics data view.
With the Delta Plotting tool you can and compare the parameter values of two measurement groups from a same route by defining an area on a map (e.g. a portion of the measurement route). For more information on Delta Plotting, see the topic Use Case 14.: Comparing Two Groups of
Measurements from the Same Route on Map on p. 209.
With the Distance tool you can measure the distance between two points.
With the Offset tool you can move the measurement route to another location. Click on the route you want to move, and then on the new location.
With the Highlight tool you can highlight selected values on the map route. First select a scheme in the Route Properties, Color dialog). Then click on the route and the Highlight Value dialog will be opened. The dialog displays all the values of the selected event type. From the list, pick the value that you would like to be highlighted and select a color for that value. Click OK and the value is colored in the selected value.
With the View Entire Map tool you can zoom out quickly.
With the Organize Layers tool you can change the order of layers on the map. See page 179 for more information on the tool.
With the Draw Polygon tool you can create a polygon area by clicking on the map. The polygon is closed by clicking on the start point of the polygon.
The Layers panel displays the layers that are currently open in the view. When you add more routes on the map, a new layer is created. You can remove layers from the view by clicking the Close button (x) and hide layers by clearing the respective option.
Right-click on the layer titles in the layer browser to access a set of map-related tools.
With the Zoom To tool you can zoom to the selected route. This is useful if you have several measurements open on the same map.
With the Move To Top tool you can move a selected layer to top.
With the Find tool you can search another map that matches the measurement route. Note that the Find feature only works with raster maps. See page 173 for more information on the Find tool. With the View In Live Map tool you can view measurements in live maps.
With the Export Data To tool enables you to export data to MapInfo Tab-file/Google KML-File. With the Show BTS Connections tool you can enable base station connections to be displayed on the map.
With the Add Task tool you can add a new task.
With the Remove tool you can remove the selected layer.
With the Properties option you can open the Route Properties dialog (see page 181 for more information).
The Active Layer panel displays the name of the active layer and information on BTS sites to which the test device is currently connected.
Tool
Under the Tool item you will find a selection of tools for viewing the map.
These same functions are available in the map side panel.
MapX
Under the MapX item you will find tools related to MapX maps.
With the View Entire Map tool you can zoom out quickly.
You can customize the map view using the MapX properties. With the Save Geoset function the customized settings can be saved in a MapInfo Geoset file (.gst) and loaded later on.
With the Organize Layers tool you change the order of map layers. In the Layer Control dialog, change the order with the Up and Down buttons. Clear the Visible option if you want to hide a layer from the map.
Properties will open the MapX Properties dialog.
In the Layers tab the table a list of the current layers is shown. The order on the list defines the order in which the layers are displayed on a map; for example, in this case the Route layer is on the top, BTS sites under that, and World map at the bottom. This utility is useful if you want to have a bigger map on the bottom (e.g., a map of Europe) and a more detailed map of a smaller area (e.g., of
Helsinki) on top of that. To add layers on the map click Add. An Open dialog box is opened where you can choose the map you want to add as a layer. The map is added on the list and with the Up and Down you can change the map’s position on the list. By selecting and clearing the Visible option you can decide whether or not to display the layer on the map. To remove layers from the map, select the layer from the list and click the Remove button.
