[maplab-users] tutorial does not work

Mon, 29 Sep 2003 16:37:07 -0400

Have you tried importing your map instead of just opening it (in the  
file selection pull down)? There are significant differences in the  
mapfiles and the tutorial map file has not been updated yet. Maplab may  
open some pre-4.0 maps, but preview can still run into problems  
rendering them unless they are converted first.
