manual to save a trail from your travels, and save the trail in a GPS
Data File. Open the data file in MapCreate, then refer to the lesson
"Creating a Route from a Trail" on page 73.
Creating a Corridor Map from a Route
MapCreate can use a route you've made to automatically create a corridor
map border. Using the Draw Borders Around Route command is fast, and
it helps control the size of your Custom Map. Here's how it works:
1. Create a route or open a GPS Data file containing a route. (To open a
GPS Data File, click
FILE|OPEN|OPEN GPS DATA FILE.)
2. Open the Route List Window: click
VIEW|ROUTE LIST.
3. Right-click on the route name. In the pop-up menu, click the
DRAW
BORDERS AROUND ROUTE command.
When you right-click a route name in the Route List Window, a pop-up
menu appears. Click on Draw Borders Around Route to generate the
border. In this example, we are creating a corridor map border for a
route from Dallas to Corpus Christi, Texas.
MapCreate draws a corridor map border following the route. See the illus-
trations below, showing the route before and after the command is per-
formed.
