Important Options


The Options are located under the Tools menu.

There are several options with which you should feel comfortable making changes.

Show Lat/Long

  • This controls the display of the cursor location.  You may have an individual preference, or you may be matching a location that is given in a particular style.

Show Elevation

  • Metric or English?

Terrain Quality

  • The granularity of the appearance of the landscape is controlled with this slider.  It sort of depends on the speed of your computer and graphics card. 
  • When you want to get high quality output, move the slider to the maximum Higher setting.

Elevation Exaggeration

  • You probably want to keep this at the maximum value (3), except in situations where there are extreme elevation changes.
