Congratulations, you've made your first Map File!

 Your map was 

placed directly on your MMC or Secure Digital card. If you wish to keep 

a copy of the file on your computer, use Windows Explorer to copy the 

Map File to the "data" sub-folder located within the MapCreate folder 

on your hard drive. 

Tips: 

•

 

If you don't plan to change this map later, the map border or Map Bor-

der File that you created it from can now be deleted if you wish. 

•

 

If you are having trouble saving your Map File to your memory 

card, your MMC may need to be reformatted. For more information
