.adc, .txt, .tif, and .sid files are the only files you can add to
both the primary and secondary maps.
.sid and .tiff/.tif files must contain spatial reference information
to add them. If they do not, an error message displays and you
must use a third-party application to specify the spatial
reference information.

The file is added to the current project under the selected map.
Note If you add a file to a project and then edit and save it later, the
file is updated in every project you have added it to. This does not
apply to raster property settings for .sid and .tiff/.tif data.

C:\...\DeLorme Docs\Projects.
