"Files" Tab

Purpose of this this tab is to gather all input files. Following operation are possible:

"Input files" dialog allows to choose one or more input files. You can also enter file name with a keyboard.

The dropdown list "Favorites" allows you to remember a few selected folders and quick access to those folders. The choice of disk drive can be done by pointing to the folder "My Computer".

"Options" Tab

The "Option" tab allows to definie the appearance and behavior of the program. Options are as follows:

"Join" Tab

Tab is used to enter all parameters for "join" action. Action "join" uses all files from "files" tab, regardless of whether they are selected or not.

You should provide output file name. This can be done using a key "file" or typing a name in line beside the key. Other parameters are optional.

The "Split" Tab

Tab serves to provide the parameters for "split" action. It is necessary to provide the folder in which the maps will be saved. Other parameters are optional. "Split" action applies to all files placed on the "Files" tab, regardless of whether they were selected or not.

Action has three modes of operation. In basic mode, GMapTool saves all the maps and data contained in input files. Files can be used to create another mapset or for editing. 

In mapset mode GMaptool tries to split big file into map products according to FID number. FID numbers are taken from F records from MPS subfile.

In Mapsource mode GMapTool generates additional files needed to bind mapset to Mapsource. These files are mapset00.tdb and empty preview map mapset00.mp.In addition mapset00.mdx and *. mdr files are created. Unfortunately GMapTool is unable to convert a MDR file form mapset into a format acceptable to Mapsource. Do bind this files to Mapsource, it will not work properly.

You should compile mapset00.mp into mapset00.img. Use cgpsmapper for compilation. Then make appropriate entries in the Windows registry. You can make this with MapSetToolKit, use  "Install a existing mapset" button.

The options available on the screen are as follows:

"Write" Tab

Tab is used to provide data to be entered directly into the original maps.  "Write" action will only work on files selected under the 'Files" tab. You can provide the following parameters:
