better routing capability and points of interest. Each downloaded map is described by 
name, and may be deselected if you wish to retain the map in memory but not display 
is on the map page. This is particularly useful if the same map area is downloaded from 
more than one MapSource-family product. (When a map is selected, the boundary for
