Edit Corridor Borders
It's easy to edit a corridor map. To add a segment, use the Draw Corri-
dor Map Border button and simply click inside an existing segment to
insert a new handle box. Move the handle where you want the corridor
to go and click to anchor it there. To reposition a segment, click on a
handle box to grab it, move the handle to the new location, then click to
anchor it there.

for use in your GPS unit, move on to the next step, where you will cre-
ate and save your map. (If you wish, you can estimate the map size and
save the map border for future use. These optional steps were discussed
