ATTENTION!!! Important Information for Existing DeLorme Software Users
To comply with Windows Vista™ standards and to provide a more stable and flexible
multiple user environment, the DeLorme Docs folder, where all of your data, projects, and
other DeLorme files are traditionally stored, is now located in the personal documents
folder on your computer, rather than on the root of the C drive. All new data created in
XMap 6 is stored in the personal documents folder, and default data paths no longer point
to any previously existing data on the root of the C drive.
For detailed information about how to migrate your existing data to the new file system, see
the XMap Help topic Migrating Data to the New DeLorme Docs Folder .
Note: All OpenSpace databases, layers, project files, draw layers, routes, XData databases,
and other data types from previous versions of XMap are fully compatible with XMap 6.
