The composition of maps appears in the Composition window of the Navigator.
A map that is used as a functional map appears underneath the map that calls it.
Icons
The following table explains the icons that appear in the Navigator. It also
explains the action to take, if necessary.

executable map name.
(gray) Appears next to a
functional map name or a map
that does not have source and
target data defined.
(pink) Appears next to the name
of a functional map that does
