The options currently available on this tab are:

Option	Description
Map Control	Allows you to choose the map-display software. The dropdown lists the available map controls. Selecting a different map control changes the way in which the GeoPlan Window is displayed. See the Changing the current Map Control topic to know which map controls are supported in InfoWorks ICM. Ignore installed ArcGIS Client Software - check this box to stop InfoWorks ICM looking for ArcGIS. This option should be used if there is a copy of ArcGIS installed on your PC that is secured with a single user hardware key, but the key is not plugged in.
When opening GeoPlan, also open previously used layers	Check this box to automatically open GIS layers previously displayed on the Geoplan being opened.
Display warning when layers are missing	Check this box to have a warning message displayed if any previously used layers are missing. If the box is unchecked, missing layers will be ignored without warning. This option is only enabled when the option to open previously used layers is selected.
Enable auto-panning when at the edge of the GeoPlan	Check this box to turn on the Automatic Panning Tool.
Show locator window	Check this box to automatically show the GeoPlan Locator Map when a GeoPlan is opened.
Speed up remote PC drawing	Redrawing of the GeoPlan can slow down remote desktop sessions; select this option to improve performance by removing intermediate redraws during panning and zooming operations.
Show scale bars	Check this box to display scale bars in the bottom left hand corner of the GeoPlan. (The GeoPlan must be closed and re-opened before changes to this option are applied.)
Use advanced caching	Check this box to use an advanced caching system to improve drawing performance by reducing unnecessary redraws. The most significant improvements will most likely be seen when replaying 2D results and viewing large networks. Transitional drawing effects may occur when using this option (e.g. blurred display, partly selected items); these effects will disappear when the GeoPlan has completed its drawing. The GeoPlan must be restarted for changes in this option to take effect.
Use file cache	Check this box to allow caching to the hard drive in order to improve drawing performance. (See Use advanced caching for further details).
Image Creation for Asset Networks	Enter values to set the resolution and zoom/scale values to be used when creating location sketch images for selected asset network objects and for creating images when generating asset network reports.
Online map options	Displays the Online Map Options dialog, where the availability of web map service options on the GeoPlan context menu is controlled. See Online Map Options dialog and Integration with Web Mapping Software for further details.
Online find options (geocoding)	Displays the Online Find Options (Geocoding) dialog, where access to the web map applications, which are to be used to find a location, is specified.
