Changing Appearance
How do you change the layouts when we rotate the iPad from Horizontal to Vertical?
The next section describes how this is done in the GoMaps layouts specifically, but for a general discussion of this technique, check this out: Slide-a-Block for FMGo
Working with layouts in GoMaps
The layouts in the GoMaps mobile file have some complexity to them in order to hide and reveal objects as the iPad is rotated. Whenever you're working on these layouts be sure you have a backup of your file in case you make a change you can't seem to undo.
This video will give you an overview of how we negotiate the rotation-objects on these layouts: Working with Layouts.
Changing which fields display in the popover
You can configure which property details show up when you click on a property in the map. Learn more by reading about popovers.
Tool Tips
To change the value shown when you hover over a pin (before you click on it), edit the field "gm_MapData" in your properties table and change the field used in position two, after the comment "Marker Data: Position 1 - 5" Whatever is in position two will be used in the tool tip. Don't forget that you'll need to refresh the map after making changes to this field.
Changing Other Areas
In addition to just working on the main layouts, some of the other things you may want to change are in scripts or configured on their own layouts.
Switching the fields used as the header (sub-summary part) in list view
Changing pin colors and icons

Changing the color and shape of area borders
