for the icon, or click the Browse button to select
it from a menu.
6. Click the Preview Bitmap button to verify that
you have selected the picture you wanted for the
icon.

which you want the icon to move behind other
screen elements (0 is lowest, 100 is highest).
8. Check the box labeled Above radar if you wish
the icon to display over radar data.
9. If you know the latitude and longitude of the location where you want to display the icon, key
in the coordinates in the Lat and Lon text boxes. Alternatively, you can click on the desired
map location, and then click Map Edit.
10. In the Start Range text box, type in the maximum range (in miles) at which the icon
displays.
11. In the End Range text box, type in the minimum range (in miles) at which the icon displays.
Upon completion, select OK to return to the Icon List. You will need to change or refresh the
view before the icons display.
To permanently remove an icon name from the Icon List, left-click on its name, then click the
Delete button.
When you are finished working with icons, click Done in the Icon List menu.
If you set an icon to appear at both long and short ranges, you may run into
problems due to the latitude and longitude data not always matching up at different
ranges. If this happens, try adding additional screen coordinates for the icon to
appear for multiple subsets of the desired total range.
