• New option in "Edit": "Fit map to picture/selection", computing the best approximation for the parameters in "Map properties", in order to fit the map (elevation data matrix) to the active picture. As an example, if you select a zone with the mouse (dotted yellow rectangle), use this option to force extraction of elevation data for a larger picture (zoom) delimited by the selected zone. If no selection has been made, the new map will be sized as per the picture. Note that if the picture and map names are the same, the picture will be redrawn. This option will facilitate navigation in order to procuce a map and a picture for a given deployment. Note that when a new map is generated, you must revisit the elevation of each unit. The best practice is to postion units after the creation of the map. To adjust the elevation of a unit, open "Units properties" form and press "Place cursor at unit position", then press "Place unit at cursor position". Unit elevation will then be corrected.

A message from Luis E. Suarez about problems registering Radio Mobile OCX files in conjunction with IOmega tools version 5.1

• remove other instances of the OCX files that are not located in Windows\system
• run the Register Cleaner

If Radio Mobile worked well after, some features of IOmega were lost. So, final recommandation is to install IOmega Tools 5.2 that uses Windows\system files.
