Geographical Map
Nodes on the Geological Geographical Map can be moved and the map re-centered (as well as zoomed in/out) but the nodes cannot be edited or deleted. .
Locating and Centering the Map
When a Geographical map is first created it centers on its default location, Brisbane, Australia. You can resize the view (zoom in/out) using your mouse's scroll wheel (if equipped) or the zoom controls located on the left side of the map window. You can relocate the center of the map by left-clicking and dragging the map surface or by using the arrow control in the top-left corner of the map.
When you save your Geographical Map opCharts will store the center location of the map and zoom state. However, when used in a Dashboard, the final display size will be driven by the size of the Component window the Map is contained within. Some testing and adjustment may be necessary.
