MapCreate Screen Components
If you're pretty familiar with how Windows programs work, you may want
to skip ahead to the segment on Creating Map Borders on page 36. But,
before we actually start mapping, we'd like to describe the different
elements of the MapCreate screen. The next few segments explain what
they are and what they do. You'll also learn how to move around the map.
Master Map Window
The largest window is the Master Map window. It displays the basic
world background map you'll use to prepare Map Border Files and
Custom Maps Files for your GPS. You can close the other list windows
if you're not using them. (You can always open them later when you
need them. Click

and then click the window name.) This allows
you to see as much of the Master Map as possible on your computer
screen. To close the other windows, click the X
C LOSE W INDOW
button
in the top right corner of each window frame. You cannot close the
Master Map window.
