Updating Trace Maps

The Updated Trace map tool converts XY coordinates to match longitudes and latitudes.

If there are invalid latitudes and longitudes but valid xy data, the system produces an error message and you are asked to correct the data. This option is typically applied after a new base map has been installed or after using the TSDE Import feature. (Contact your Trapeze representative for more information regarding TSDE.) It also enables you to copy the log into temporary memory.

    • Update coordinates: If selected converts XY coordinates to match longitudes and latitudes.(This is the only function that this tool previously performed.)
    • Update Exact Matches: If selected, the NameId and ShapeId are updated when the tracemap record exactly matches a MapShp record.
    • Update Near Names: If selected, the NameIds are updated based on a nearby mapshp record that is at a similar angle.
    • Name Gaps: If selected, when a shp record on a deadhead or pattern trace has no name and is located between segments that have the same name, it is also assigned that name.
