Creating a map

Maps used in the Map view can easily be created with the help of Narda Map Tool (NMT).
Narda is running an own map server that provides open street maps. After selecting a desired area, tiles (for the various zoom levels) are downloaded and copied to the SignalShark drive. In the Map View the stored maps can be selected from the Select Map menu.

2.   Click Set selection area...

(e.g. Pfullingen: 48.465454; 9.226208; 50 km).

4.   Click OK.
