To define a street and give information about it, points are required.

Highlight the street you want to add the point to by clicking on that street in the data tree.

Then click the button ImageList-118.png. This will turn the cursor into a crosshair.

Usually you will have given credentials where the points need to be placed. Depending on the amount of detail, it might be a crossroads or simply the centre of a village. Once the point has been placed, like with the roads, you will be required to fill in certain information


The dropdwon list General contains 5 items that need to be filled in manually:

Point Subtype (chosen from a dropdown list): This categoization helps order the individual points into hierarchical groups. This makes it easier to filter the points later. Choose the group this point belongs to by double clicking on the space to the right of 'Point Subtype' and then on the corresponding group. Each group conatins one or more sub-categorizations (like various junction types in P1 or various landmarks in P3). Clicking on one of these subgroups closes all the dropdown menus.

The remaining information needs to be entered manually: Junction Number: Road name: The name of this road. First name: The name of the location or intersection where this road starts. Second name: The name of the location or intersection where this road ends. To add a new point, first highlight the street you want to add the point to, then click on 'Add New Point' To give informations about a road, new points can be added. They are created by clicking on the button Add New Point and afterwards on the wanted location on the map. This can be a crossing, a giratory or a kilometer point.
The window which is opened when adding the point gives a samle of possible references. The reference which includes the most information and reffers the best to the road is selected by putting a tick in front of it. It is shown in red on the map.
A new point has always to be linked to a road and can't standt by itself. So for adding the new point, a street has to be selected.
