You use MapWizard instant mapping by clicking on one of the MapWizard buttons on the toolbar or by choosing one of the commands that create a theme. All you need to do is choose the type of theme you want to use and the field or fields you want to see. Maptitude reviews the data, creates the theme, and chooses colors, styles, and patterns that make your map clear and attractive. You can choose the colors and styles you like best using the Edit-Preferences command and choosing the Themes tab.

Once you create a theme using MapWizard, you can change or customize the theme settings in any way you like.

If you’d like to preview how the theme will look, just click the Apply button at the bottom of the Theme dialog box. If you like the way the theme looks, click OK; if not, click Cancel.
