Top Tips

Take a look through the below for a series of top tips which will be invaluable to you when using Promap.

Find your site first time
To bring back the most accurate address search, locate your site using a Postcode.

Site location savings
When searching for a site and you are unsure whether you have selected the correct site, go to the Street Plus layer first, as this will allow you to view the site for free before viewing the detailed layer.

Position your map where you want it
Use the right mouse button to centre the screen on a specific point.

Save time by filling your footprints
To gain fast and accurate measurements of building footprints use the Fill tool.

Get to the point and improve accuracy
Use the Snap to Point tool to measure exact distances and areas of sites by clicking on or near the digital data points. You can form curves by selecting the Shape tool, holding down the space bar and clicking on a few points.

Undo when drawing
When using the Shape tool, before you close the polygon, you can use the backspace on your keyboard to undo previous drawing actions.

Positioning your print frame
When positioning your print frame on your map, for accuracy use the arrow keys on your keyboard to make minor adjustments.

Only pay for what you need
Use the Shape Export Frame to draw the exact area of mapping required.

Save your maps and your money
Promap can check through your saved Detail map and aerial photo files every time you search for a new location which will save you paying for the same map twice.
