Display button:
Use the Display button to open the Display Properies dialog. Within the display dialog it is possible to
define zoom ranges for the selected layer. Zoom ranges are very usefull to speed up map drawing. For
example if you have a world map containing a highway street layer, it is a good idea not to display this
layer in any zoom level.
In the screenshot above, zoom range 0 to 321868m are defined for the Railroad layer. If you zoom out the
map above the Max Zoom value defined, the railroad layer will be hide automatically.
The right panel from MapInfo MapWizard status bar shows the current map zoom level, use this value to
have an orientation for defining the zoom range.
Use ther Override Style button to change line styles, this is only enabled for vector layers.
After closing the Layer Control you will be automatically asked if you like to save your modifications to the

MoveUp/MoveDown/ToTop/ToBottom to change the drawing order.
To unload a geoset, right click the MapInfoMap tree entry to open the map context menu, select Delete to
remove the geoset map.
MapInfo map 66
9.1.2 Create a map cache

Like described above it is possible to direct import a MapInfo geoset. The performance the MapInfo map
is displayed depends on map scale and size. If the performance do not match your needs, it is possible to
crunch the geoset map into small map tiles.
To crunch a map open MapInfo MapWizard, load the geoset map you like to crunch.
After opening a geoset, the Run Cache processor toolbar button is enabled.
Click the Run Cache processor button to start crunching the whole map.
The cache processor creates a map tile cache according to the TMS specification (like used by
openstreetmap ). Depending on map size, scale and zoom level settings, this needs minutes to hours to
finish.
First the Tile creator settings dialog appears
TMS zoom level range are defined from 0 to 18. The MapInfoMapWizard calculates usefull zoom level
values for crunching the loaded map. Use this dialog to change the start and end zoom level to be
created.
Note: the higher the To zoom level is set, the longer time is needed to finish.
MapInfo map 67
Hint:
For first run the suggested zoom level values are ok, use this to start crunching the map. After finished,
verify the result in MapView. If a higher detail level is needed, start crunching the map again and set the
Start zoom level value to previously used To zoom level value, set the To zoom level value higher than
before. Going this way you avoid to create same zoom level map tiles twice.
Because of performance reasons, the MapInfoMapWizard map window is disabled during cache
processing.
The cache processor is running within its own thread, this means, you can go on working with MapView.
A progress bar indicates cache processing state, after finished, a new basemap is created
(refer section 2.1.2 Basemap)
For naming the new basemap, the geoset filename is used, e.g. if your geoset name is World, the new
basemap name is also World.
To use the new basemap, restart MapView, open the File LoadMap menu, the new basemap is listed
within the basemap popup menu,select to open (refer section 5.1.1 Load Map)

12 Special plugins
12.1 MapViewMirror plugin

MapViewMirror plugin enables the sharing of exported graphics layers between two or more MapView
workstations. Layers can be sent, received or both. Available functionality depends on the setup. For the
actual file transfer, the plugin uses the DirectoryMirror program which must be running at the same time.
The plugin is operated through a toolbar.
Notice, that the plugin will automatically keep clean the directory that DirectoryMirror uses for file
exporting. The amount of stored files in the import-directory is defined by the history size. History size can
be changed via the UI and it also defines how many imported files are kept loaded at a time in the
MapView. Set the history size to 0 (zero) for an unlimited history size. The plugin can be also set to
display only the latest set of imported files. Previous imports are still kept loaded, but hidden.
