Creating, Editing, Deleting, and Saving Projects
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 in the Map Files tab.
Can I Send Routes or Draw Layers to Another DeLorme User?
Projects, including their routes and draw layers, can be packaged into one transfer
file for convenience. The transfer file facilitates e-mailing, copying project
information to other computers, and copying projects between DeLorme programs.
You can use MapShare to share maps, routes, or profiles with non-DeLorme users.
For more information, see To Share Maps.
