If you are satisfied with this map border and want to finish processing it for
use in your GPS unit, you can jump ahead to "Creating and Saving a Cus-
tom Map," on page 52. However, you might want to check out the following
two optional steps on estimating the size of the map, and saving the border
as a Map Border File.
Estimate Map Size (Optional)
It's a good idea to make sure your map will fit on your card, so let's check
it. Click the

button , on the Create Map
toolbar. After a moment it will tell you your map's file size.
If it fits the card, click O K
