Starting Geocap from the startmenu

1.2 Open the User Documentation

The user documentation can be viewed in a regular browser.

Exercise: Main documentation

Scan and read briefly through the documentation to get an understanding of what you can expect to find in the documents. The documentation in the tutorials is just a supplement to the main documentation.

1.3 Enable the UNCLOS functionality

We need to make sure that the UNCLOS functionality is available by checking that the Shelf Plug-in is loaded. Geocap will remember this setting, so you only need to do it the first time you start up.

  • Open the Geocap Settings menu under pulldown Tools > Options.
  • In the plug-in section, make sure that the following plugins are selected:
    Image Georeferencing
    UNCLOS Article 76 Toolbox (This is the main Unclos/Shelf functionality)
  • Click Ok, and restart Geocap if you needed to add new plug-ins.
