While we had some fine weather I re-installed the s'ware and did a quick
check around the neighbourhood but this time I created the map from a
..gif file instead of using the grid. This time using the "map" option I
got a similar colour scheme to your files and the whole map was in a
single colour but all the AP's, that I was able to get to front and
rear, were in the correct position.
There is evidently a difference between using the "Map" and "Grid" option.
