WINDOWS

= SYMPTOMS =

When you use the Measuring tool, an audible “twang” type sound plays and the following message appears in the lower left corner of the Road Atlas viewing screen:

The measuring tool measures up to 30 sections only.

This occurs when you attempt to measure more than 30 sections

= CAUSE =

Automap only measures between 30 points. The 30 section limitation is by design.

= RESOLUTION =

Limit the measured distances to 30 or fewer points.

= MORE INFORMATION =

Using the Measuring tool, you can measure the straight-line distance between any two points or the perimeter of an area.

NOTE: You must have the status line displayed to see a distance measurement. To display the status line, do the following:


 * On the Tools menu, click Status Line.
