2.10 Creating Maps: Create-a-Map Wizard

Create-a-Map Wizard is a fast, easy way to create a new map. All you need to do is answer a few simple questions, and Maptitude will create a map for you automatically.

The Create-a-Map Wizard lets you create maps in four different ways:

  • General Purpose Map: Maptitude chooses one or more geographic files based on the area you want to see, and makes a general purpose map like the ones you might find in a street map, road atlas, map book, or telephone book.
  • Open a Geographic File: you choose a geographic file and the area you want to see, and Maptitude opens the file and zooms to the desired location.
  • Map of My Own Data: you choose a dBASE file or other tabular data file that contains your own data, and Maptitude looks through the file and figures out how you can use the data to make a map.
  • Combine Existing Maps: you create a new map by mixing and matching the layers that appear in all of your other maps.
