You can right-click a draw object on the map and change it to a road, track, trail, waypoint,
or draw layer, depending on the type of draw object you selected. When the draw file type
is changed, the original draw file is maintained and a copy is made and switched to the new
draw file type, leaving you with two files: the original draw file and the copied draw file,
which has a new draw file type.
