Set Options, White Background checked. 7. Set Options, Shade MCD, Shade PLaces, Shade Counties, Shade States off Note: Your C:\Program Files\Peak Systems\PMapServer7\PMap Underlays\ directory will be empty. You need to put some underlay files in it etc. If you are using NWSGet, set the NWSGet target directory to C:\Program Files\Peak Systems\PMapServer7\PMap Underlays. In this PMapServer7 version, all underlays are expected to have a white background. This may change in a future version to use the color found at the lower left corner of the underlay as the transparent color. 8. If desired, Select Underlays, Load Underlay and one of your underlays. Note: Only one Underlay can be selected at a time. You can clear Underlays from the map by unchecking the selected Underlay. 9. Close the control panel Notes: One command in Ui-View has changed with PMapServer7. Previously, A caused the map to zoom to show the USA. In PMapServer7 it now zooms to show the entire world. The behaviour observed when loading an underlay has changed. Previous versions of PMapServer automatically zoomed the map to show the entire underlay. PMapServer7 does not automatically zoom to the underlay extents. You can manually zoom to the underlay extents after exiting the control panel by selecting Zoom Underlay from the Ui-View32 Map menu selection. If you do not see local streets and highways in USA or Canada when you zoom in : The Ui-view32 PMap Data directories are not set properly. Use Control Panel, Options, and Easy Setup to configure. When all else fails, hit F1 in the Ui-View32 Control Panel and read the help file. The PMap7 world map only contains cities, no streets or roads.
