In the Map Module the coverages and images are listed in the Project Explorer. At this point CAD data are not supported in the Project Explorer, but it is anticipated that in future versions the CAD data will also be controlled from the Project Explorer.

A toggle is next to each object; the toggle controls the visibility. The display is automatically updated when the toggle is checked or unchecked. The active coverage is set in the Project Explorer by selecting it. The active coverage is indicated in the Project Explorer display with a color map module icon, while the inactive coverages are gray.

Right-clicking on the Map Data folder allows users to create a New coverage or New folder to organize coverages in, or perform Coordinate Conversions on all of the coverages.

The Project Explorer replaces the Coverage Options dialog in previous versions of WMS. See Coverages to learn about coverages in the Project Explorer.

Right-clicking on a coverage allows users to Delete, Duplicate, Rename, set/view the Properties of the coverage, or perform a Coordinate Conversion. Properties include the name and coverage type.

Right-clicking on an image allows users to Delete, Rename, or perform a Coordinate Conversion (all images are created only by opening an image file).
