Installation

Once downloaded copy the relevant files(s) to a directory of your choice - if this is not the default installation directory (normally C:\Program Files\KASSoftware\Maps) then use the Settings->Set Preferences menu option, click on the 'Misc Options' tab, then click 'Add Directory...' to add this directory to MapView's working list. Restart MapView and your map(s) should be listed. The same applies to height data (which we consider to be a map anyway) & gazetteers too. Easy.
