Drawing a Path on a Map

Q: How can I show the path for my system link on a map?

With a map of the area drawn in the TAP Map Window, use the Calc button (a line with an arrow on each end):

The "TAP Graphic Window Calc" form is displayed:

You can enter the coordinates of the end points manually, or you can use the Facility or Location database lookup functions:

When the sites are entered, the azimuth and distance are computed automatically.. You can click the "Draw Path" button to show the path on the map:
