BMapper Background Map Management
After capturing several new BMapper Background maps, I would like to
eliminate some old ones that are no longer used so they do not show up on the drop down on the upper left corner of the program. I have been unable to find any files by the names shown to delete. Can anyone help with details on how to eliminate these? Also, I would like to share some of the new background maps with other pilots so they do not have to generate their own. Is there an easy way to do this? John |

John Your original download of the BMapper program has 5 files that are used to display the Mifflin area, they a Mifflin.bin system file Mifflin.bmp bitmap of the actual map Mifflin.dat Cambrige format turnpoint file Mifflin.ini parameters file Mifflin.sca default settings You should find similar files for the maps you have created. Remove them from your BMapper root directory and they will no longer show in the dropdown menu. Andy Gough |

BMapper Background Map Management
Thanks Andy, your recomendations work and have been successful in the
past. The problem I was having is that the files I was looking for were not in the BMapper root directory and I could not find them to delete them. It turns out that Microsoft has some security features that put files in a directory other than the location the program specifies. Details can be found by googleing "virtualstore". The missing files turned up in C:/users/"yourname"/appdata/local/ virtualstore/program_files/BMapper. After finding them, it was easy to delete the ones no longer used, and to move the other active ones to the BMapper root directory. The appdata/local....directory may be hidden by default. It is necessary to go into "folder options" "view" tab to unhide it. John |

I finally was able to capture the desired map of north Texas, and would like to offer it to others, but not sure how to do it. Maybe we could just post the files to this group? |
