Moving and Deleting Draw MapNotes
You can add your own MapNotes to a map. MapNotes have a white background that
make them highly visible on the map. They can contain multiple lines of text and can
be moved off of the labeled area without losing their visual links with the points. You
can use MapNotes for directions or explanations.
