Q. |
Does your software cover "this" specific area of my
state? |
|
A. |
We have received many questions asking if our program
covers a specific demographic area within the State they live. Our program
covers all 50 States in the USA and includes all known mineral commodities
within each State. However, the specific commodity of your interest may not
be found in the area you live or wish to search. What Mines and Minerals
v1.0 gives you is, the ability to quickly research any area of a State for
the commodity of your interest using the features and functions built into
the program.

Q. |
I cannot download a map.
|
|
A. |
Make sure you are connected to the Internet. If you have
a firewall you will need to allow M-N-M© access to the internet.
Note: If you receive a 'HTTP 404' error message the link to the map
downloads may have changed. |
|
|
Follow these steps to check the URL
1) on the menu click on Tools -> Properties, in the properties window that
displays click on the 'General' Tab
2) At the bottom of this window locate the box that holds the URL for
terraserver's mapping.
3) Make sure this link reads
http://terraserver-usa.com/GetImageArea.ashx? exactly as shown without
spaces.

Q. |
Why do some Overlay Maps appear to be In color?
|
|
A. |
The process of creating an Overlay Image only removes the
"White colors" on the Topographical Map image. When the Topo image is placed
over the Aerial image it may create a False Color picture. Should this
occur, we recommend selecting separate images i.e. Topo / Aerial to view the
site map.
|
|
Q. |
When I download a Map Image I get a "Fuzzy" Picture.
|
|
A. |
This is due to the fact that USGS / TerraServer-USA™
may not have that Map Image on file, or they may not have the 4 meter
resolution image, from which M-N-M© downloads all Map Images. All is not
lost! To locate the site, use the programs Coordinate Window to transfer the
latitude and longitude to your GPS mapping application.

Q. |
I just Installed Mines And Minerals, when I start it for the first time I
receive an error stating "Mines And Minerals has encountered an error and
needs to shut down"
|
|

correctly when your computer was last updated. Take these steps below to
reinstall / repair the installation of MDAC 2.81
