Viewing the Contents of a Draw File
Once you create a draw file (draw, road, trail, waypoint, or track layer), you can
view the contents of that file using the More button in the File view of the Draw tab.
Note Routable roads require a routable DeLorme dataset. Routable trails require a
topographic DeLorme dataset. For information, visit www.delorme.com or call
