DeLorme Topo North America Help
5
• If you search for an address that is on a walkway and place a route point on
it, DeLorme Topo North America finds the closest street to that location,
marks the space between the point the clicked and the street with X marks,
and starts the route at the street.
• Why is the tab area and control panel so narrow?
DeLorme Topo North America was designed for resolutions of 800 x 600 or higher. If
you are using a very high resolution (such as 1920x 1200), the tab area and control
panel may appear to be very narrow. You can modify the size of the map and tab
area or use the Windows® Control Panel to adjust your display settings.
• What's the best way to measure the distance of a road or trail?
The best way to determine the distance of a particular road or trail is to create a
route. You can create a route using right-click functionality, the toolbar, or the Route
tab. For more information, see Creating a Route
.
• What's the best way to measure a large area on the map?
The best way to measure a large area on the map is with the area tools on the Draw
tab (such as the polygon tool). When you draw an area object on the map, the area
displays next to the object on the map. If you click off the object, you can view the
area again by clicking the Select tool in the Draw tab and then clicking the area
object on the map. For more information about drawing area objects, see Drawing a
Circle, Rectangle, or Polygon on the Map.
• What's the best way to measure a short distance on the map?
The best way to measure a short distance (that is not made up of a road/trail) on the
map is to use the Measure tool
on the toolbar. You can measure linear distance
and area on the map based on the units chosen in the Display tab of the Options
dialog box. For instructions on using the measure tool, see Measuring Distance and
Area.
• Why won't 3-D billboards display?
If you receive a message saying that 3-D billboards cannot be displayed, ensure that
you have a 32 MB video card with the most recent drivers and that it supports
DirectX and transparencies.
