Q. Should I delete the demo farm and other maps when I install?
A. The Demo Farm & other Demo Maps & Views are provided so you can see how you might draw your own farm layout and as examples of views, layers and layer groups.
-> You can delete these maps if you want to… but it won't hinder your progress or bother the program if you leave the demo farm there… you might just delete some of the layers that are not needed for you farm. Eg. Areas of Salt, Areas of Bush.. Any map objects on a layer are totally ignored and don't impact on your computer's memory or operation speed unless brought into view on your screen.
-> However, if you want to delete the demonstration farm "Kambah" from your Views list… Choose (in gpMapper) File/Open View… (or in Pam with Mapping) choose Tools/Views/Save View As now select the Kambah view and click the "Delete" button. Delete any other views that you don't require. If you delete a layer from the layer group called "Standard Farm Layers", and you have used this layer group (and its layers) for your own farm(s) then you will definitely not want to delete these layers!
-> Alternatively, if you haven't started setting up your farm yet, rename the layer group called "Standard Farm Layers" to "Demonstration Farm" and create a new Layer Group called "Current Farm Layout" (or whatever you want to call it).
