Map Popup Menu Help

There are several functions that can be performed by right-clicking on stations or objects on the map, or pressing the context menu key on a PC keyboard while the map has focus. Some of these menu choices may not appear if the context doesn't allow it (for example, menu choices to query a station won't appear if the right mouse-click was not on a station icon). If the chosen menu function applies to a selected station or object and more than one station or object was at the clicked point, a popup dialog asks which station or object you want to use.

• Zoom in, centering on the clicked point on the map.
• Zoom out, centering on the clicked point on the map.
• Pan the map to center the clicked point.
• Create a new Object at the clicked point on the map. This is effectively the same as the Add Object button on the Station/Object list, except that the latitude and longitude is preset to the clicked map position.
• Edit an existing Object (taking it over if owned by someone else), or convert an existing Station into an Object owned by your local station.
• Drag an Object across the map to a new geographical position.
• Show the message history of the selected Station or Object.
• View the most recent message from the select Station or about the selected Object in the Radio view.
• Turns on the map track stripe for the selected Station or Object.
• Turns off the track stripe for the selected Station or Object.
• Send a message to the selected Station.
• Initiate a chat session to the selected Station.
• Append a textual note to a Station or Object. This is useful to record extra information about the Station or Object that is not provided over APRS (example: current number of passengers in a tracked SAG vehicle).
• Change the fixed home position configured in YAAC to the clicked map position.
• Plotting a line-of-sight path between the current station location (even if the local station is mobile) and either a fixed geographical point or another station or object (which may also be mobile).
• write a text marker line to the current GPS log (only if GPS data is being logged).
