This article explains the difference between map types that can be viewed, and how to select different attributes for your current map
Map Type Buttons
These five buttons change the way that data is displayed in the Map Window
A. Base Map
Creates a raw data map of a spatial dataset, i.e. point data, polygons, lines, etc. in their raw form
B. Swath Map
Creates a map based on spatial points plotted as polygon objects that are created from the swath width, distance traveled and heading (track) for the logged point
Track must be included in the dataset being mapped to display the data as this map type
C. Sections/Rows Map
Creates a map of the individual sections/rows contained in a dataset
This allows the mapping of sensor data that was logged at a higher resolution than a full swath, such as row by row
Not all data supports or contains this level of information
To make sections/rows data available, you must check one of the "Create individual ..." options on the GPS Settings tab when archiving files or reprocessing data, and select either to generate Section or Row level data
Configure Sections/Rows Button Allows the selection of which sections/rows to map
You can select all, one, or a combination of sections/rows to display
D. Grip Map
Creates a map based on averaged values for a user set grid size
E. Contour Map
Creates a map based on averaged and smoothed values for a user set grid size
Attribute/Property Selection Box Displays
Displays the current attribute or property that is being mapped for the layer in the Map window
Clicking on the down arrow on the right side of this box shows a drop down list of all the attributes and properties that can be mapped for the current layer
Click on one of the attributes or properties to change the data being mapped in the Map Window for the current layer
Select Mappable Attributes/Properties Button
Click this button to select the attributes or properties that will be available to map
Selected properties will be saved per the operation of your current layer that is mapped
All selections you set to mappable will be displayed in the Attribute/Property Selection Box in the Layer Control
