WINDOWS

= SYMPTOMS =

You cannot access some map information by double-clicking your mouse on the map. The mouse cursor fails to change to a hand when you position it over an icon and try to do one of the following:


 * Access the camera icons at full zoom.
 * Use a map with maximum detail.

= CAUSE =

When the map has maximum detail or is at full zoom, the data points are too close together, making it difficult for the program to interpret which point you are trying to click.

= RESOLUTION =

To bring up the picture and additional information supplied with the camera icon, use one of the following methods.

Method 1

 * 1) Do one of the following to incrementally zoom in on the center of the screen:
 * 2) * On the Map menu, click Zoom, and then click In
 * 3) * Press the F6 key
 * 4) * Click the magnifying glass icon (the one with the + symbol)
 * 5) Repeat step 1 until you obtain the correct zoom level.

Method 2

 * 1) Place cursor to the top-left of the desired object on the map.
 * 2) Press and hold down the mouse-button.
 * 3) Drag the mouse to the lower-right of the desired object on the map. This creates a thin-line box around the object.
 * 4) Click inside the box.
 * 5) Repeat steps 1-4 until you obtain the correct zoom level.

Method 3
Reduce the amount of detail presented on the screen to help pinpoint specific information or camera icons.


 * 1) On the Map menu, point to Detail, and then click Less Detail. This incrementally reduces the amount of detail displayed on the screen.
 * 2) Repeat step 1 until you attain the correct level of detail.
