Moving and Deleting Draw MapNotes
You can add your own MapNotes to a map. MapNotes have a white background that make
them highly visible on the map. They can contain multiple lines of text and can be moved
off of the labeled area without losing their visual links with the points. You can use
MapNotes for directions or explanations.
