## 2. Properties File

The OpenMap Viewer loads properties from an `openmap.properties` file. It searches for this file in two locations: 1) in the JAR file or class directory, 2) in the user's home directory. If it finds the file in any of these places, it loads the properties from it, overriding previous settings. We suggest that you copy the `openmap.properties` file from the openmap directory to your home directory, and edit the settings to your own liking.
