Modifying a Map Using MAPC › Step 4: Optionally Display the Map Layout

Step 4: Optionally Display the Map Layout

You can use the Map Image screen in MAPC to see how the modified map will look to a user. This allows you to see how modifications affect a map layout before you recompile the map load module.

You can display the Map Image screen by selecting Image option from the Display activity on the action bar:

If you note any errors while displaying the Map Image screen, you can quickly correct the map while still using MAPC. You can then redisplay the Map Image screen to check your corrections.

When you are satisfied with the modified map layout as displayed on the Map Image screen, you can recompile the map.

Press [PF3] from the Map Image screen to return to the Main Menu.
