Custom Map File is created. Turning off unneeded information
categories can help reduce file size if you are trying to fit a very
large map onto an MMC with small amounts of memory.
For example, if you're simply taking a cross-country highway trip
across several states, you can turn off categories such as rural roads
and/or minor city streets. This should give
you the navigation information you need at
a smaller file size. However, when file size
is no problem, most users prefer to include
as much detail as possible. All the examples
in our Quick Reference section use the
original factory default settings, which have
all the categories turned on.
Even though a category is turned on, you
may not see it on the Master Map because
you have zoomed out too far. That's no
problem. As long as the category is turned
on, it will be included when you make your
Custom Map File, no matter what your
zoom range is.
Tip:
Another command that works with category
options to determine detail is the Detail
Level Used option, under the

menus. (You don't need to
make any changes there now, but after a
little practice you'll want to see the entry
View Map Display
Options in the online Command Reference for how this works.)
