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

Exporting Track or Waypoint Files to GPX Files
You can export track or waypoint files as GPX files. GPX files derived from tracks contain the
elevation, time, and GPS status for each point in the track. GPX files derived from a
waypoint file include the waypoint name, comment, URL, lat/lon, elevation, time, GPS
status and the symbol name. You cannot export more than one waypoint/track layer into a
single GPX file.
