2.6.2.5 Changing the Network View Background Image

You can replace the background map image displayed in network view with any JPEG or GIF image that
is accessible on a local or network drive. If you want to position nodes on the map based on the node
coordinates, you will need the longitudes and latitudes for the edges of the map. However, if you will
use your mouse to position nodes, coordinates for the image edges are not necessary. The change does
not affect other CTC users.
You can obtain the longitude and latitude for cities and Zip Codes from the U.S. Census Bureau U.S.

drive and is in JPEG or GIF format. CTC may stop responding if you link to a file that is not JPEG
or GIF, or if you provide an incorrect path.

Step 3 Click Browse. Navigate to the graphic file you want to use as a background.
Select the file. Click Open.
Step 4
Step 5 (Optional) Enter the coordinates for the map image edges in the longitude and latitude fields on the
Preferences dialog box. CTC uses the map's longitude and latitude to position the node icons based on
the node coordinates entered for each node on the Provisioning > General tabs. Coordinates only need
to be precise enough to place ONS node icons in approximate positions on the image. You can also drag
and drop nodes to position them on the network view map.
