With mMAPS, you get the complete range of computer mapping at your disposal. You can
display your Geo reference data as points, lines, polygons etc. You can also make thematic
and run queries on the working data. mMAPS makes you visualize the distance between
various sites and even in case of co-located sites of different technologies; it can show you
the sites with different shapes and sizes. With mMAPS you can visualize all your digital data
and have everything at your fingertips. You can use any map available from mMAPS like
street / highway maps to world maps. You can also create your own maps .After youve
organized your data visually, youll save the results to files, or send them to any of the
dozens of printers and plotters through mMAPS.

Today, we deal with huge quantities of information Site data, physical data, distances and
various other physical attributes. mMAPS helps you store all this information digitally and

3. Mapping - mMaps Features

We have made several important changes to simplify your work and enhance the look of your
maps:



We are using visual elements of mMaps to make the application more visually appealing and
consistent with other Windows XP products. If you use mMaps on Windows classic or with
Window 7, and you have set your current display theme to Windows classic (in the Themes or
Appearance tabs) or window 7 (in the Window Color and Appearance folder) you may notice
that the dialog box elements display differently as shown in figure above.
Due to this variation there is no change in the product functionality, the functionality will be
always same.

6.2 Opening a Map file
To open a workspace:
1. Select File > Open Map. The Open dialog box is displayed.
2. Select Map file (*.map) from the drop-down list.
3. Specify the name, directory and drive for the workspace you want to open.
4. Click OK.



Any previously opened tables and windows will be left untouched when you open a map.
When you exit mMaps, the mMap map (.map ) stores the last session when you intensely save
the map;
.
To open a map:
1. Choose File > Open map. The Open dialog box displays.
2. Choose map (*.map) from the Files of type drop-down list.
3. Specify the name, directory and drive for the workspace you want to open.
4. Click OK.

How Renaming Tables Affects map.
When you change the name of a table listed in a map, you invalidate the workspace. Table
names are stored in the workspace file, so if you change the name of the table, the workspace
cannot find it.
For example, you created a map called CUSTOMER MAP that contains the table ROAD. If you
later rename the ROAD table to DELHI, mMAPS will not be able to open the ROAD.MAP map. It
will try to open the ROAD table and not be able to locate it.

To work with the data in your database, you open the file or table that contains the data.

7. Working with Layers

In mMAPS, each table is displayed as a separate layer. Each layer contains the attribute info
for the map objects, such as regions, points, lines etc.

Once you have created your layer, you can add data to the layers edit data or reorder the
layer display.

7.1 Managing Layers in mMAPS
The key to control your map layer is the TOC window. It shows all the layers contained in the
current Map file in the order of display and their attributes. These attributes can be viewed
on the map using labels. The icons above each check box column represent the attributes.

It is easy to change a layers, or multiple layers, attributes using the check boxes.
You also have options available to change the Display and Label settings just by double
clicking the layer.
You can also modify thematic maps and reorder, add, or remove layers.

To Open a TOC (which will open a table of all layers you have in your map):-
1. From View of main menu, open TOC or press Ctrl+T.
2. This will open a window Map Toc, in this window you will able to see the list of layer
present on the map.
3. In TOC you can move your layer up and down by using move a layer UP and move a
layer DOWN
4. Visibility of the layer can also be select by clicking on the check box in the second
column (Name Visible) of the TOC.
5. For display the labels of the layer click on the check box in the third column (Name
Label) of the TOC.
6. Display properties of the site symbol can be modified from the Layer Properties option,
to open layer properties click on the icon .

To refresh TOC window click .
To scroll up and down the layers in TOC window click .

When you create a thematic in mMap, the thematic shading is added to your map as a
separate layer. It is drawn on top of the layer, from which it gets the raw data. Separating
thematic layers from its base layer provides you with several important options:

Graduated symbol thematic maps do not require that your base layer contain point objects.
Instead, graduated symbol objects are built regardless of the map object type. Therefore,
even if your base layer contains region or line objects, you will still be able to create a
graduated symbols map.
You can have multiple thematic layers per base layer. In some cases, you do not have to add
another base layer to the map to create another thematic layer.
You can use Layer Control to turn the display on or off for a given thematic layer. The layer it
is based on can continue to display.

7.9 Getting Layer Information
You can use the Info tool to get information pertaining to the map layer.
Click on any of the tools , or and the map object to view the attribute information
about a layer.



7.10 Working with Thematic Layers

When you create a thematic map in mMAPS, it is drawn on top of the layer, from which it gets
the raw data.
Thematic mapping is the process of enhancing your map according to a particular theme. At the
Corner stone of the theme is the data in your table. Themes represent your data with shades of
color, fill patterns, symbols, bar and pie charts, and grids. With mMaps, you create different
thematic maps by assigning these colors, patterns, or symbols to map objects according to
specific values in your table.
The data that you display on your thematic map is called the thematic variable. Depending on
the type of thematic analysis you are performing, your map can show one or more thematic
variables. Ranges of values, grid shading, graduated symbols, stats in the legend.


1. Go to Analysis < thematic to apply thematic.
2. You can create Thematic on any of the attributes using the customizable legends.
3. You can show the STATISTICS on the legend.

mMAPS User Guide


29
4. To create different thematic on a single layer, save the raw layer as many times with the
customized names and open those on a single MAP window.



Before you begin your thematic map, you need to decide what information you want to display
and locate where that information resides. It can either be in the table on which you are basing
the map, or it can be in another table.
If the data is in the same table on which you are basing the map, choose the desired field
directly in the Fieldname list box in the Thematic If the data is in another table, you must first
bring the data into the table on which youre basing the thematic map. When you create a
thematic map, the thematic shading is added to your map as a separate layer in the TOC. You
can see Legend of thematic in Map Legend window in Main Menu View option.

You can also view the count of samples by clicking stats in Legend in Thematic window
option
