Street Atlas USA 2005 lets you save all of the work that you have done as a single Map File so you can open it again

later. You can create various map views and save each in a different Map File, if desired. In this way, you can save

separate views of often-viewed areas at your preferred zoom level and other settings. Then, open them as you need

them using the Map File file tab.

A Map File consists of the map center coordinates, the current zoom level, the current magnification, preferences,

and the route or draw layer (if applicable) it contains.

When you create a route or add a draw object to the map, they are added to the currently selected Map File. Map

Files are saved by default in C:\DeLorme Docs\Map Files. Street Atlas USA 2005 lets you save one route layer and

one draw layer in a single Map File.

If you click Exchange, the Exchange wizard displays. The Exchange wizard allows you to exchange the selected

data file with a GPS device or Palm OS/Pocket PC handheld computer.

Note: You can also launch the Exchange wizard using the Exchange button on the GPS tab.
