Using SignalTrack
MAPS
The first step in setting up SignalTrack is to decide what maps and/or map data are needed to cover
the desired area. If the area you are covering is large, then you may want to use more detailed maps
of smaller areas within the larger map or use the ESRI ArcGIS Mapping Engine. To select the
maps to use choose Map Menu Builder... from the Maps menu. The dialog shown below will be
displayed. This dialog allows you to build a map menu that contains categories and maps. A category
is simply a name for a group of maps and maps under the category will be displayed in a hierarchical
fashion.
To add a category select New Category from the Add menu or right click on the dialog and select
Add New Category. To add maps to the category, use the mouse to click on the category and
then select Map.. from the Add menu. A standard Open File dialog will appear. Navigate to the
directory (folder) where you saved your maps when you created (see "Creating Maps Using
MapFix" on page 9) them. Select all the maps you wish to use from that directory. (Use CTRL+left
mouse click to select multiple maps). Press OK and the maps will be added to the category.
Similarly, maps may be added at the top level by clicking off of a category and selecting Maps... from
the Add menu.
To delete maps from the menu simply select the map or category you wish to delete and press the
delete button or right click on the map or category you wish to delete and select Delete from the
pop up menu.
A populated map builder dialog and the resulting menu are shown below. Maps and categories may
be moved up or down to change the order of the maps in the menu or you can simply select a map
or category and drag and drop it in the position on the menu where you want it.
