Features
Usage
Features of WME Wide-Angle Lens are accessed from the Wide-Angle Lens tab in the user pane.
Define Area
An area that you wish to scan is created by "drawing" an area place/venue. The area can be as small or as large as you wish - some people have created one as large as an entire state. Do NOT save the area. Instead, give the area a name in the "Add Custom Area" section and click the save link. Should things work successfully you should see the area listed in the pane.
Plugins
The base script by itself does nothing other than allow you to define areas. You really need plugins to do something with that area. Plugins typically provide filter criteria as well as a mechanism to specify how you would like the output. Each plugin has a separate tab that is used for configuration.
Scan Area
Once you have at least one area saved you can scan it. First choose at least one plugin that you would like to use. Then choose the area to scan and press the Scan button. Sit back and watch as the map is panned throughout the area. When it's done the selected plugins should report their status and generate some output. Don't touch anything during the scan as this might interfere with the process. Depending on the size of the area that is being scanned, the process can take quite some time. There is currently no indicator of progress, but if you use WME toolbox you can use the Mini Map to monitor the scan.
If you need to cancel a scan in progress for any reason click the "Cancel" button.
Export/Import Area
If you would like to back up or share an area, choose the area and click the "Export" button. The area will be saved as a text file containing the Well Known Text representation of the area.
To import an area (either saved from WME Wide-Angle Lens or from some other tool that can generated a Well Known Text file), search for the file and click the "Import" button.

Notes
- While scanning entire states is certainly possible, I would recommend not doing that for Streets. The zoom level required to "see" Streets is such that scanning a very large area can take a LONG time.
