Q: How do I make a background map?
If you choose to make your own maps you will need to make a separate background map for each of the three ranges. The maps should be centered on your location and scaled so that the correct range is at the edge of the map. For example, the 200 mile map should be scaled so that it is 200 miles from the center to the edge of the map. The map should be 640x480 pixels with the center at 240,240. Save the maps in BMP format for the Windows software or PCX format for the DOS software. Map templates are provided to help in creating your maps.
Q. Can I run StormTracker with a background map?
Yes. In portable applications it may not be practical to have a map for each location, so you may choose to operate without a background map. You would see a small cross at the center of the display (your location) and range rings to indicate distance. Both the center cross and the distance rings are enabled from the Configure Screen configuration screen.
