Preparing Maps for IPADS.
(1) Click on Make Map button. IPADS Map Manager will search for a CD containing CADRG map files.
If map files are not found, you will be prompted to select the CD drive and a folder named RPF.
NOTE
IPADS Map Manager automatically searches for a folder named RPF,
containing CADRG data. If a RPF folder isn't found, the Browse for Folder
window is displayed, which allows selection of a folder from the directory tree.
A RPF folder won't be automatically found if there is no CD in the drive; the
CD doesn't have properly formatted map data; or the RPF folder is in another
folder. The later case can occur if the CD contains multiple map data formats.
In which case, a folder containing CADRG data must be selected. If the CD
does not have an RPF folder, it doesn't contain properly formatted map data.
