Select all maps from all resources
Is there a way to select all maps from all resources in my library and display them as thumbnails? (I mean static maps, not like the Atlas tool's maps.) I would like to view them together instead of poking around inside study Bibles, encyclopedias and the like.
Does one just enter "map" in the Find Media textbox? That doesn't quite meet the need as it returns lots of multi-slide results, showing only the title in the thumbnails.. And I'm not sure if it extracts maps from all resources either.

I use maps all the time and have purchased a number of maps, atlases, and packages with maps.
I search for cities in all my maps often.
Set up a search like the one below
Create a shortcut to this search.
I added this search to my favorites
Then I set up "Control+1" to instantly bring up this search.
I rightclick and copy a city name that I encounter when reading the Bible.
Then I hit Control+1 (my custom shortcut to my map search) and paste that name
Then I hit F11 to move to full screen on my second monitor
This kind of search for "MEDIA", Maps, All Resources finds all maps with a given city name.
When searching for the city Jerusalem, I get 150 maps in the Logos Atlases 1, 2, and 3, + over 300 maps in my other maps that I own.
I hover over the maps with my mouse to pick a time period description that matches the time I'm looking for and click 2-3 maps to see it from different perspectives and use the one I like best.

This is great. Thanks so much, Greg. I kept loading the Media tool (seems the intuitive place to search for media!) and then entering something like "map" in the 'Find media' box.
