Note for regular Street Atlas USA® users
This Help topic describes functionality provided in advanced file
management.
Advanced file management allows you to save multiple routes and draw
layers in a single map file. With simplified file management, you can save
only one route and/or draw layer in a single map file. If you did not select
to enable advanced file management during the product installation, you
can still change the settings using the Change File Management option in
the Options menu. For more information, see Activating
Advanced/Simplified File Management.
