Export a Map

You can export the map as an image file in a variety of image formats, including PNG, BMP, JPEG, and TIFF. When you export a map, any markup or measurements that you have added are flattened onto the image and exported too.

From version 1.8.1 of the Geocortex Viewer for Silverlight, you can include georeference data when you export a map image. The georeference data and the map image are included in a zip file that you can download and use in other GIS applications like ArcMAP. When you import the map image, the georeference data is used to position your exported map image in the correct location on the existing map.

To export a map image:

1. Do one of the following:
   • In the Tasks tab of the toolbar, click Export Map.

   • Right-click on the map image and from the context menu, select Export a Map Image.

     The Export a Map Image dialog box opens.
