To add data to the map

By default, points, lines, and arcs from the current job database appear in the map.

You can add other files to the map as layers, including RXL files, DXF files, and background image files. Features in layers can be made visible and selectable but they cannot be edited or deleted. See Supported map files.

If the controller is connected to the Internet, you can also configure a web map service (WMS) and view map background data provided by the service. See Web map services (WMS).

To add data to the map

1. To open the Active map screen, you can:
   • Tap in the map toolbar.
   • In the Job properties screen, tap the Linked files button.

   The Active map screen lists the data files in the current project folder, including all RXL, LandXML, image, and surface files.

   Layers with file names that contain invalid characters (such as a dollar sign or parentheses) are not shown.

2. To add files from another folder to the list, tap Browse, navigate to the required folder and then select the files to add.

   If you are using the Trimble Access Roads app, you can add models extracted from a 12da file as a GENIO .inp file. Tap the up arrow softkey and then tap 12da. See To extract models from a 12da file.

3. In the Active map screen, tap the file(s) that you want to link to the current job or tap All to select all files. A check mark indicates the files are visible in the map.

4. To make the features in the file(s) selectable, tap the file(s) again. A check mark inside a square indicates the features are selectable.

   If the icon does not change, the file does not contain any features that can be selected.

5. If the file contains layers, by default all layers have the same setting as the file. To make only some layers visible or selectable, tap the arrow next to the file name and then tap each layer once to hide it, or twice to make it visible but not selectable. Tap the layer again to make it visible and selectable.

   The icon next to the file name indicates if some layers are not visible or not selectable .

6. Tap Accept.
