The refresh button's main purpose is to refresh the map when communication with the MapAble® server is broken and commands was not executed.  When a loss of communication with the server occur, click on the refresh button to restore contact.  MapAble® will always go back to the default zoom extend and the first Topic Tab in the list.

The Unselect Button is very useful when a user has a large number of layers and folders in a Topic Tab and get confused which layers are selected and not.  To instantly unselect all layers, the user can click on the Unselect All button.
