Hello Troy, Unfortunately MI/MB does not have any concept of event timers. It is possible to write a MapBasic program which would wait a period of time and then refresh, but this would hog the whole Pro session and not allow any other use of the application (apart from stopping the looping program). The best solution is to use an external timer program (see recent thread about animation) to inject a DDE message into Pro. Pro can then have a MB program listening for this message and refresh all/some of the mapper windows. Sorry it's not a simple solution!

I would imagine it would involve using the mapbasic window and issuing some statement like, start a timer for 4 seconds, if the timer = zero, refresh the map window, restart the timer, or something like that. I have neither mapbasic nor any experience with it. Anyone think this would work for my needs?
