Q: I would like to have different background maps than the ones predefined in NaviModel or Helmsman's display. Is there a way to set this up?
A: Yes, for this you need to add a new entry to your Web Map Server (WMS) list.
Please note NaviSuite only support WMS -web map service.
In NaviModel 4.8.1 same goes for Helmsman's display:
- Click on the Select Background Map icon to enable the Maps node from the Project tree
- Right click on the Maps node in the Project tree
- Select Add new map... option
- In the Set Map Server window insert the desired name and the URL of the WMS
- The Map will be in the list of the background maps
In NaviModel 4.4.2 and older versions:
- Browse to the Maps node in the NaviModel project tree
- Right mouse-click onto it and open the Manage Maps... option
- Open the folder where other background maps are stored
- Copy one of the existing files
- Change the file name and edit the file with a text editor by changing its name and URL, eg how Bing is set up
- On a NaviModel restart you can choose your newly added WMS
