  1. Either look up the coordinates of the location you want to scan, enter it in the text boxes and hit "goto"
  2. Pan and drag the map to the desired location and hit "set"
• now you setup the scanning area around this starting location by adaptin the values in the "Grid online" group
• once you are done, hit "GO!" to start the scanning process. Depending on the distances you are scanning and the selected pitch, this might take a while. However, you should see progress as it is being made
