Setting preferences

To set preferences:

1. Click the Preferences tab to open the pane.

2. Set the units of your choice for the Distances and Altitudes properties and choose the coordinates type for the Coordinates property.

3. Select Date Line Wrapping if you want to cut polylines that go completely around the Earth.

NOTE Date Line Wrapping requires a reload of the map. This is necessary to recompute each polygon in the map to ensure that they do not cover a large distance on the map, and also to "cut" any such areas into two or more subareas. This is carried out only when the coordinate system changes.
