ProScan and Google Maps

[svaughanrv]

Hello, I downloaded ProScan and learning how to use the software. I see there is a feature that should grab frequencies from coordinates and input them in channels. I was reading the section in the manual called Google Maps & Lookup. I enter an address and Map the Lat/Lon, but what doesn't show up is the feature to update the database.
I read I must open this feature within the database, and thought I did, but the button to update the DB will not display. I am connect to my scan, so what do you think I may be doing wrong?
Thanks Steve

I see there is a feature that should grab frequencies from coordinates and input them in channels.

Where did you see that? Is that part of the RadioReference import or part of the google maps? Would that be creating a new system and new channels based on location? Currently ProScan doesn't have that but I can look into adding that.

To update the database locations: Click the 'Map Systems' button. After the map is drawn, drag the circles(or rectangles) to the desired location or resize the range. A popup box will appear. Click the 'Update Node' button.

Ok, I guess I thought that feature would grab frequencies from the area drawn on the map, and input them in a group. I can get the coordinates and distance ring input, but how is that used later?
I don't quite understand the GPS feature yet, have more reading to do.

The database location data is update when the rings were updated. Upload to the scanner so the scanner will have the updated location data too.
