If you are satisfied with this map border and want to finish processing
it for use in your GPS unit, you can jump ahead to "Creating and Sav-
ing a Custom Map," on page 52. However, you might want to check out
the following two optional steps on estimating the size of the map, and

ders, and you don't want to start over each time you want to change a
border. Here's how to save the border:
