Open Printable/Searchable Copy - Global Mapper

Global Mapper User's Manual
The tree on the left of the dialog allows the user to select which data file they wish to load. Global Mapper
comes with several dozen useful links already entered into the tree.
To access your own ECW image from the web, press the Add Link... button. This button causes the Add New
Web Link dialog (pictured below) to be displayed.
The Group Name drop list allows the user to select which group, if any, to place the new link in. Any of the
predefined groups can be selected, or a new group name can be entered. Leaving the group name blank will
cause the new link to appear at the root level of the tree.
The Description field is where you enter the human-readable description of the link. This is what will be
displayed for the link on the main dialog. Leaving this blank will cause the URL to be displayed instead.
The URL field is the most important piece of this dialog. This is where you specify the address of the ECW
file to load. The URL should begin with the prefix ecwp:// with the remainder being a valid path to an ECW
file served using ER Mapper's Image Web Server software.
When you've completed entering information about the new web link, press the OK button to complete your
entry and have it added to the web link tree in the Load Image From Web dialog.
Pressing the Edit Link... button allows the user to edit the currently selected web link. Note that the built-in
web links cannot be edited.
Pressing the Delete Link... button will delete the currently selected web link or group from the web link tree.
