Resort Map

The Resort Map can be used to quickly access information about the Unit, create a Reservation, choose a Tenant, or accepting payments.

To create a Resort Map, begin by clicking the Show Map Control button (1).

Next select the Add or Modify Shapes or Locations (2) option in the Map Control palette.

You will need to prepare a .jpg, .gif, or .png Resort Map image, which shows the location of each Unit of your resort. This Resort Map image should be somewhat smaller than your monitor's resolution.

Click the Import Photo (3) button and select your Resort Map image.

Next choose a shape from the three Shapes (4) choices provided. You can select a different shape for each Unit if you wish.

Click New Shape (5) and choose the name of one of your units. A new shape will be created in the middle of the Resort Map.

Drag the shape to the location of the Unit on the map and resize it as necessary.

Click New Shape (5) again and then adjust the size and location of the new shape. Do this for each of your Units.

You can delete a shape by selecting it and pressing the Backspace (or Delete) key OR use the Delete All Shapes (6) button to start all over again.

If you drag a shape off the map, use the Reset (7) button to bring it back.

When you are finished, click the Save Map (8) button and then deselect the Add or Modify Shapes or Locations (2) option.

You can change any of the Status Colors (9) by clicking one of the five buttons and choosing a new color.

Pointing to a shape on the Resort Map causes the name of the associated Unit to be displayed in the Unit ID (10) field.

When the Add or Modify Shapes or Locations (2) option is deselected, these two additional buttons are made visible:

Select the "Automatically open with Resort Map" option (not shown) to hide the Show Map Control button on the Resort Map and automatically open the Map Control palette.

Click the Availability Checker button (not shown) to open the Availability window.
