Map Sets
A map set is a collection of one or more maps which can be saved in a single file. A map set is somewhat analogous to an Excel workbook which can contain multiple worksheets.
The data in a map file set is simply Xml which can be deserialized to the same state that the maps were in when they were saved by the user. By default, the Xml data is compressed using the GZip compression algorithm to reduce the size of the file. The map set Open and Save dialogs provide the capability to open or save a map set without compression if the user desires.
Compressed map sets (the default) have a ".tmz" suffix. Uncompressed map sets have a ".tml" suffix.
Default Map Set
The default map set will automatically load each time the Operator Client is run. To specify a default map set, open the desired map set and then select "Set as Default" from the File menu on the main toolbar.
Map Sets on the Web
Map sets may be opened directly from the internet. Select File/Open frm Web, and specify the URL of the desired map set. For example, a sample map set which is stored on this web server may be loaded by entering "http://dfwtraffic.info/tti/sample.tml". "http://dfwtraffic.info/tti/sample4.tml". Once a web map set is loaded, it may be specifed as the default map set.
Changes to web map sets cannot be directly uploaded to a server from within the operator client. A local copy of a web map set must be saved and then uploaded.
