Hello
After installing Reefmaster on a new computer, I have problems with exporting maps to GPS in AT5 format.
After choosing to export as AT5 and decided where the map should be saved, the dialog box that displays the Insight Map Creator generates a map is shown for a second or two before it disappears again and then nothing else happens.
The at5 and Large.at5 files are created but nit the folder ShadedRelief.

Hi Virre,
The "generate raster" option has been removed, and now a raster layer is generated automatically if, and only if, it is required. The cases where it is required are when exporting a project in raster mode, or when exporting a user map where transparency has been used in polygons. Otherwise, the behaviour that you describe I would consider as correct. If, however, you expected a raster layer then this is an error. Could you please describe the map export that you are making?

Hi Virre,
There is no need for a raster layer or ShadedRelief folder when exporting a vector project, so the behaviour is as expected. Creating a raster layer takes a lot of time, and space on the drive. In your situation, the only thing that would have been exported is a "dummy" layer that consists as a background in land colour. This is only required when exporting semi-transparent polygon areas, as transparency is only effective when rendered over raster.
