Creating the MapPad Package

This programme (Tsmappad.exe) only works on a Windows 95 PC.

Go to File and Open your dxf file and select a

custom scale

then select

custom.

Wait while

the map is created. A useful scale is

1024

(equates to a square 1024x1024 pixel map) or for

larger scale try

2048.

More than one scale of map can be created and loaded into the

Newton.

Once an image of satisfactory size and scale has been created select Create.

Open File and select from the MapPad subdirectory a template package file (*.pkg) of

similar size (e.g., s1024.pkg for the 1024 scale option) for pasting the map you have just

created. Select

Create

then Save As with a new name for the map sheet you have created.

Select the sub-directory for the image.pkg you are about to create and

SAVE.

Once the package (*.pkg) file(s) have been created they can be loaded into the Newton for

use. See the section on communicating with your Newton above.

Tricks and Tips

To help with hand writing recognition:

•

build up a comprehensive dictionary, the Newton operates by trying to match words;

•

add extensions (aliases) to common words;

•

go through the Newton exercises and read the manual carefully.

To help with entry and editing:

•

if the handwriting recognition is working poorly use the keyboard feature (double tap the

screen);

•

try making up pro-forma sites and give them names that can be easily distinguished so

they can be retrieved and customised to each unique outcrop. Be careful doing this.
