To search for sites to develop

You may want to use Promap to find a site to develop. You will therefore want to start your search in a general area perhaps near a town.

To search for sites to develop

1.Follow steps 1 to 7 in To locate a site without a postcode or grid reference.

2.Now move around your map until you find a potential site to develop.

See To move around the map for tips on how to do this.

3.Right-click the site area to centre it on your map.

4.Click on the Detail Layer

5.The Enter Expenditure Details popup box will appear to warn you that you are about to do a chargeable action. Enter a Project and Reference for your map view and this will be entered into your accounting files. For more information on expenditure details go to Enter Expenditure details.

Your Detail map will then appear.

If you now find that the site is not suitable, you could use your free roaming allowance to search for the site you do want. However, you do not need to search for a site on the Detail layer map. Although you have a certain amount of free roaming, you will soon be charged if you move too far away from the site. See Distances you can roam for free.

So if you think your site is a good distance away and it will be cheaper to choose a new Detail map, continue on to step 6 below.

6.Save your Detail map first by clicking the Save button on the standard toolbar. See To save a file for the first time for details.

7.Go back to the VML Raster map and search for another site.

8.When you've found it, centre it on the map by right-clicking it and click Relocate button on the display controls toolbar.

The Relocate dialog box appears.

9.Select the Detail map layer and click Create.

10. Click OK on the Enter Expenditure Details popup box that will appear.

Your Detail map will open centred on the new location you found in step 8.

You will be charged for viewing this new detail map.
