I do not know if this is deliberate or will be addressed in a future revision. I know that there is a limit of 20 map selections per map set. However when I switch to a different map set the same buttons are highlighted from the previous selection.

Working 'top down' there are times I need to quickly switch between maps and keeping selections persistent between map sets would be helpful.

I believe you're referring to the "bookmark" function? If that's the case, it reverts to the maps selected for that particular bookmark (convenient if you have, for instance, a bookmark set for CTR, 1 or 2 for APP sectors, etc. That way you have maps you need for that particular view. You can re-save the bookmark with the maps you want...and it will toggle them when you select that bookmark. Apologies if that wasn't what you were referring to.

Not sure why you'd switch between GEOMAPs during regular controlling. The FE should set it up where you have your center maps and within those 20 maps you can configure TDM maps for top down usage. GEOMAP switches is usually because of different area's or different configurations

It's all about real estate, or lack there of enough screens. One airport that that was a different sector layout depending upon runway configuration. Then the need to quickly turn on a Cl[Mod - Happy Thoughts] C or D TRACON for an arrival. I realize that vERAM in not suited for TDM or the TRACON environment so the 20 maps limitation is a bit of a hindrance. I am just trying to make the workflow easier.

 

@Ken - I noticed that bookmarks change the map selections. Combined with the selecting a map set using MR that may be a solution. Question for Ross or anyone who knows, how may map sets can you have to select with the MR command?

It's been too long so I don't remember exactly, and I don't have time right now to look over the code, but I don't recall there being any limit to the number of GeoMaps you can select from with the MR command.
