What is a project?
You can save all of your work as a single workspace so you can open it again
later. These saved workspaces are called projects.
A project is made up of the following items: coordinates of the map center,
current zoom level, current magnification, map display preferences, any
added items: such as draw layers, routes, and so on. As you create new
routes or draw layers, change preferences or the map center, and so on, they
are added to the current project. You can save or discard changes.
To learn how to create a project, see Creating and Deleting Projects.
What is the difference between a stop and a via?
When routing in Topo USA, you have the option of adding/inserting stops or
vias in the route. A stop is a location in a route where you want to stop and
then proceed from. A via is a location on the map that you want the route to
use.
For example, if you create a route between Portland, Maine, and Yarmouth,
Maine, with no stops or vias, the route directions will tell you to take I-295.
However, if you want to take US Route 1 instead, you can place vias in the
route on US Route 1 to force the route to go by way of US Route 1. If you
plan on stopping in Falmouth Foreside for lunch, you will want your route
directions to reflect that stop. When you add a stop, you can recalculate to
include it.
This map shows the area between Portland, Maine, and Yarmouth, Maine,
with two vias and one stop.
