Viewing Data
You can view two types of data at the same time using the split-window function and by
connecting
the data with the Data Locations option in the Map Files tab.
The only data types that you can view in the right map window are DeLorme Topo North
America data and 3-D TopoQuads data. To view 3-D TopoQuads data in the right map
window, you must disable your DeLorme Topo North America data connection
and enable
only the 3-D TopoQuads data connection.
The dataset that displays in the left map window is dependent on the selection made in the
data drop-down list at the top of the left map window.
Using Projects and Map Files
Projects and Map Files Overview
You can save all of your work as a single project file so you can open it again later. You can
create various map views and save each in a different project.
What is a project?
A project consists of the map center coordinates, the current data zoom level, the current
magnification, rotation, preferences, and links to routes or draw layers you have added to it.
As you create routes and draw layers, they are added to the current project. Projects are
saved by default in C:\DeLorme Docs\Projects.
Each associated file is saved in its respective folder in C:\DeLorme Docs. For example, a
draw layer is saved in C:\DeLorme Docs\Draw.
Can I reuse draw layers and routes in other projects?
After creating routes or adding your own roads, you may not want to do all of the work
again in another project. You can share routes and draw layers between projects using the
Add button on the Map Files tab.
