Editing a Map File
As you create new routes and draw objects, they are added to the current map file.
You can also pan and zoom the map as needed, and then save all these changes.
To Add/Delete Files Contained in a Map File
Use the following steps to add or delete specific files contained in a particular map
file from the Map Files tab.
1. Open a map file.
2. Click File, click Current View, and then click Contents to view the contents
of the map file.
• To add a file, click Add and then click Draw Files or Route Files.
Then select the file you want to add to the current map file.
Note If a file is added to a map file and then changed later, the file is
updated in every map file it has been added to.
• To remove a route or draw file from a map file, select that file and
then click Remove.
Note This process does not delete the file; it just removes it from the
current map file.
3. Click File and then click Save.
OR
Click the Save button
. Map files have .saf extensions and are saved by
default in the C:\DeLorme Docs\Map Files directory.
Note Under the tree menu, you can use the check box next to each draw or route
file to display or hide it in the current map view.
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.
