For those of you familiar with the Utility dialogs from earlier versions of TrueMap, you will see that many of these utilities been replaced by the new Navigation Pane, which provides centralized navigation and easy access to features.

You can turn the Navigation Pane on and off by pressing ALT+F1.

The large buttons in the Navigation Pane allow you to easily switch between the seven view modes. Not all of these large buttons show by default. You can show fewer or more buttons in the button tray by using the menu after clicking Configure buttons.  If you find that large buttons take up too much space, point to the horizontal splitter bar between the buttons and the surface image pane, and then when the pointer turns into a double-headed arrow , drag the splitter bar down. Dragging the horizontal splitter bar to the bottom of the Navigation Pane converts the large buttons to small buttons in a single row of icons at the bottom of the Navigation Pane as shown to the right.
