Solar Maps starts up automatically as soon as its installation has finished, provided that you select the option to do so.
On subsequent occasions, you will need to start it up yourself. You can start it up on its own, or run it from within Solar Fire (v5 or later), if you already have it installed on your computer as well.

Solar Maps will then start up, displaying the AstroClock chart on a map.

Important Note
Solar Fire chart types such as progressed or composite charts cannot be used correctly within Solar Maps, and may produce misleading results if you attempt to use them. You should only select charts of a natal type from the list of Solar Fire’s “Current Charts” for display in Solar Maps, and use Solar Maps own “Subsidiary” option on its “Chart” menu to generate progressed, directed or transiting charts which can be displayed correctly in Solar Maps.
