Now... Should we eventually implement a MapSet feature, where you

The only thing I can see the Auto Maps buying somebody right now is a
way to not have to go in and change your selected maps as you move
around, but you can do the same by selecting all maps at once in the
Map Chooser.
I am entirely confused and my head is starting to hurt a lot. But I
like the idea of map groups. Of course I kind of already do that.
Here's what I do.
I have automaps enabled. I have expand dirs disabled. So my maps
appear as groups (by directory) in the map chooser. I click on the
groups (directories) of maps I of which want to change the properties
and click on the Properties button. This brings up a list of the maps
within those groups (directories). I then turn on or off (automaps
on/off) the maps and set their layers and other properties as
appropriate.
Well, you almost have it. Instead of enabling "Auto Maps", just leave
those maps or directories highlighted in "Map Chooser" and these are
what will now play.
Incidentally I find the radars almost completely unusable since they
are completely black now. At times they work, but they break too
often. I've been here enough to have heard all the discussions of
color levels, transparency, and et cetera. It'd be nice to get a more
permanent solution to this problem. In the meantime I turn it on
briefly when I want to check the radar and otherwise keep it off so I
can see my raster (and other) maps.
I now discard the online maps, and I am using the Ridge Radars someone
posted here a while back. Not sure, but I think it was Jason.
