How to make maps in ISA MapSat?

[GamerMitch]

So,I made a probe with ISA MapSat installed, Sent it to a 325 Km orbit w/ 85 Degrees inclination, And it won't make maps for me. Do I have to do something special? Is there a menu to go to? Help please!

Here is the probe(Yes, I use MechJeb): P.S. If this is the wrong category, Please tell me which one to move to

At this point, I wouldn't mess with ISA mapsat. It's barely functional in the current version of the game. There's a new mod that's very similar called SCANsat, you should look into it!

I second this, in it's current state SCANsat is better than ISA by a huge margin. It lets the satellites scan when not being directly controlled too, it's just an all-round better mod, as far as I'm concerned.

Did you actually start scanning? When you open the map window, you find buttons on the right side for the functions: you have to press the button with "SCN" on it to actually start.

And here's a guide for using SCANSat

As much as it grieves me to say this, it's better not to use ISAmapsat. I've tried the latest devbuild and I had lots of trouble with it; mainly crashing and/or no map drawing. I never tried SCANsat, so I can't recommend it as a replacement. I really should take a look into it sometime.

SCANsat is an excellent mod, you should look into it. Although the parts look all the same, it is better than ISA mapsat in its current state. I remember seeing somewhere that the developer of ISA was trying to bring it back, but I haven't heard of it since.
