E-MAp Editor settings

2. On GV-Control Center V4 E-Map Editor window, select File > Load from file… to import the exported file.

Application Position settings
Currently, the Application Position settings cannot be directly exported / imported, so a manual setup on GV-Control Center V4 is required. See Chapter 8 Multi Monitors Applications in GV-Control Center User’s Manual V4 for details.

Note: All settings will be imported when upgrading from GV-Control Center V3 to the upcoming GV-Control Center V4 version (after V4.2.1).
