-Both X and Y axis have by default the same scale. The scale is automatically adjusted so that all the receiver coordinates of the signals contained in the [[Geopsy: Signal Viewer|viewer]] remain visible. Resizing the viewer has no effect on the scale, it changes only the axis minimum and maximum values. To change the scale, edit the axis [[Scifigs: Graph#Properties|properties]] under category ''Scale''. Modify the size ''Scaled'' (e.g. 1/400, for 1cm=4m). Make sure the scales are the same for X and Y axis to avoid distortions. Alternatively, you can resize the map viewer (this saves the size to the user settings). Then create a new viewer with the drag and drop mechanism (or redo the what you did to create the present one):

-Apart from the visualisation, maps offer the advantage over tables that you can select station according to their localisations. In the active map, right-click on the mouse to activate the context menu, select "Select stations". The object switch to the selecting mode ("Select stations" is checked) (see figure 1). When you press and move the mouse in this mode, a dotted rectangle is displayed. When releasing the mouse, all coordinates that fall within this rectangle are selected (marked as bold and red), others are unselected. To select more signals, press SHIFT. To leave the the "Select stations" mode hit CTRL+SHIFT+e (CMD+SHIFT+e for Mac) or unselect "Select stations" by right-click again. If several signals have the same coordinates they are indistinctively selected together.
