Moving and Deleting Draw MapNotes

You can add your own MapNotes to a map. MapNotes have a white background that make

them highly visible on the map. They can contain multiple lines of text and can be moved

off of the labeled area without losing their visual links with the points. You can use

MapNotes for directions or explanations.
