Index Map

(At this stage you may not have many maps to show the full use of this feature.)

• Press the Index Map button on the toolbar to display the Index Map dialog.
• Select the World Index.map from the file open dialog.
• The map should be displayed after a small delay while the bitmap image loads.

An outline of all the maps you have stored in the Map File Path will be drawn onto the loaded map. By moving the mouse over the window the maps available are displayed as a hint and the cursor changes to a finger pointer.

If you already have maps, you will be able to click the mouse on the index map, all the maps available will be displayed in the map search list and the required map can be selected. This map will be loaded, similar to the Load Map File which you have done earlier in this tutorial.

Name Search

(This requires you have a names database to load, the World Cities database can be downloaded from the OziExplorer website and saved in the OziExplorer Name Search folder. Load the World map (World.map) using the Load Map option which you have done earlier in this tutorial.)

• Press the Name Search button on the toolbar to display the Name Search dialog.
• Press the Load Button on the Name Search dialog and select the World Cities.names database using the Open Name Database dialog.
• Type a name or part of a name in the Name to find field (for example Sydney).  OziExplorer will filter the list, only the database entries containing the entered name will be displayed.
• Highlight the name and press the Plot Location Button on the Name Search dialog.
• If the place selected is on the current map, the locate marker will be placed on the map at the position of the place.

(If the place is not on the current map, a dialog with a list of maps which contain the place will be displayed.)
