Side-by- side comparison of the two default selection windows (shown below) indicates their nearly identical appearance and parallel operation. Note that a Preview tabbed panel is included at the bottom of the window for both web and local selections (circled below). </p> <p class="a10"> <a href="/documentation/TechGuides/77weblayers.pdf"> <img height="18" src="/images/icons/pdftiny.gif" width="18" border="0"></a> <a href="/documentation/TechGuides/77weblayers.pdf"><b>System: Using Internet-based Maps and Images</b></a><b> ...</b> </p> </td> </tr> </table> </p> 30 August 2010 http://www.microimages.com/announce <p> <table class="a10"> <tr> <td> <p class="a10">25 August 2010 <br /><b></b></p> <div style="float: left"> <a href="/documentation/Tutorials/tntatlx.pdf"> <img src="/documentation/Tutorials/thumbnails/tntatlx.gif" border="0" width="90" height="138"></a> </div> <p class="a10"> <i>Updated tutorial ... </i>This booklet has been updated to include using atlases that run from CD/DVD as well as those that require installation of TNTatlas before running.
