Introduction

The Map Properties dialog box is used to configure various properties of the current ArcPad map. You can access the Map Properties dialog box by tapping the Open Map drop-down list (on the Main toolbar), and then tapping Map Properties. The Map Properties dialog box contains six tabs, which are discussed in detail in this section.

All the properties available on the Map Properties dialog box are stored in the current ArcPad map file (.apm). Changes to the map properties are applied to the current ArcPad session when you tap OK; however, the changes are only saved when the map is saved.
