How do I use the Enviro Data internal map?

This feature allows you to display simple dot maps in Enviro Data without needing a separate mapping program. You will need a vector base map (such as a CAD drawing or a ShapeFile) and optionally a bitmap image. These should be entered on the Sites form for each site for which you want to make a map. You will also need coordinates in the Stations table that match those of the base map. Then select data for one parameter, click on Map at the bottom, answer the questions on the next two forms, and your map will be displayed.

NOTE: The map tool is only supported in the 32-bit version of MS Office Access because the add-on that was used to create the mapping feature requires the 32-bit version of Microsoft Office, has been discontinued by the supplier and will not be updated. Geotech is looking for a substitute that supports both 32 and 64-bit Office. 

Additionally, to use a shapefile as the base map, we recommend exporting the shapefile to AutoCAD Release 14 format and using the resulting CAD file as the base map.
