Show Map Window

Prior to processing, the map window displays the unprocessed positions within the remote GPB file. These positions usually reflect the real time position as logged by the remote receiver.

After processing, the map window displays the processed results, color coded by quality number. Quality numbers, which range from 1-6, are meant to convey a general indication of solution quality. A description and the approximate accuracies associated with each quality number is provided in the table below. The Q/C plots should be accessed for a more detailed analysis of solution quality. See Common Plots for descriptions of commonly accessed plots.

The information displayed to the map window is fully customizable from the Display tab within File | Preferences. Users can choose whether or not to display feature marks, ARTK marks and base stations.

The accuracies given are only guidelines. Quality numbers are meant only to provide a high level indication of solution quality. We highly recommend accessing the quality control plots for a more in-depth analysis.

Mouse Usage in Map Window

Positioning the cursor on a processed epoch and clicking with the left mouse button accesses a summary of the processing results for that epoch. The time, quality number, number of satellites, standard deviation, forward/reverse separation and other statistics are displayed.

If you have a scroll-wheel on your mouse, you can use it to zoom in and out by scrolling forwards and backwards over the area of interest.

The Save to HTML option generates an HTML file containing a bitmap version of the Map window. These HTML and BMP files are saved to the HTML folder contained within the project folder.

See Tools Menu for additional interactive mapping tools.
