Tip:

If you need to start over, you can erase a corridor border box one

segment at a time, or all at once. To erase by segment, use one

of these two methods: (1) Click the

DRAW CORRIDOR MAP BORDERS

button. Move the pencil point over one of the small handle boxes

that appear along the centerline of the corridor. Right-click on a

handle box to erase that segment. (2) Click the

DELETE MAP BORDER

button and then click one of the small handle boxes.

To erase an entire corridor border at once, choose one of

the following methods: Click

FILE|NEW|NEW MAP BORDER FILE or click

the

NEW MAP BORDER FILE button (on the FILE toolbar). Then click the

YES button on the Clear All Borders dialog box. This will erase all

corridor borders displayed on the Master Map.

Edit Corridor Borders

It's easy to edit a corridor map. To add a segment, use the Draw Corri-

dor Map Border button and simply click inside an existing segment to

insert a new handle box. Move the handle where you want the corridor

to go and click to anchor it there. To reposition a segment, click on a

handle box to grab it, move the handle to the new location, then click to

anchor it there.

If you're satisfied with this map border and want to finish processing it

for use in your GPS unit, move on to the next step, where you will cre-

ate and save your map. (If you wish, you can estimate the map size and

save the map border for future use. These optional steps were discussed

in the previous segment on Creating Rectangle Map Borders.)
