Default Map

Post by Gowermick » 09 Dec 2020 11:22

According to FH7 Help, map window should default to OpenStreetMap, (which I prefer)
Mine seems to want to default to NLS!

How can I set default to OpenstreetMap on a permanent basis, as despite exiting whilst using OpenStreetMap, on re-opening it has gone back to NLS.

Not a good start to FH7 :shock:

What are the map settings under Tools->Preferences->Map Window. Mine is set to OpenStreetMap and is ok.

Mine was set to NLS, which could only have been done during installation! As FH6 didn't have NLS!
