Limitations in this release

• Importing from data directly from GIS Layers is not fully supported:
  • Not supported for Raster layers and File Geodatabases.
  • Not working everywhere for Shapefiles.
• Attributes can only be viewed for Shapefile and File Geodatabase GIS layers. Editing is currently not supported.

Map control known issues

• There are some issues with extreme zooming in. When zooming in further than the Map Control supports, GIS layers will not be drawn accurately with respect to the network and may appear to drift as the zoom level increases.
• Theme Properties are not yet implemented for File Geodatabase layers.
• In the GIS Layer Control dialog, Raster Image layers show the Selectable, Editable and Properties controls, but these do nothing.
