  1. In UVMapperPro, what you call a 'Texture Map' is refered to as a Template, and is simply a portrait of whatever part of the UV map is currently visable, saved as bitmap file.

I prefer to call them Templates I think it is less confusing.  UVMapper Classic calls them Texture Maps while UVMapper Pro calls them Templates.  This can cause great confusion with new users.  I’ve seen several people who are just getting started and using UVMapper Classic refer to Texture maps as UV Maps.  So when they start asking questions it takes us experience uses sometime to figure out that when they are writing “UVMap” they are not writing about the models UVMapping but are writing about Texture maps.
