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.
This note does not apply to Street Atlas USA Plus users.
Importing Transfer Files
You can package a map file and its contents into a single file, called a transfer file, to
facilitate e-mailing or copying. You can also import transfer files, allowing you to
share your map files with other DeLorme users.
You can import a transfer file with or without attached hyperlink files. When you
create a transfer file with hyperlinked files, you can choose to maintain the directory
information of common files. By doing this, the recipient of the transfer file can keep
a similar directory structure as the creator. This is helpful when a transfer file is
shared and updated between users.
Note Transfer files do not include map data.
