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
