You can turn detail categories off and on by clicking in the check box beside them. Each map category with a + sign to its left consists of a group of subcategories. Each subcategory can be turned on or off individually by clicking the check mark in the box beside it. NOTE: For mapping information to be included in your final Map File, it must be displayed (turned on) in the Master Map when the Map File is created. Turning off unneeded information categories can help reduce file size if you are trying to fit a very large map onto an MMC with small amounts of memory. 40 Map Category Options. For example, if you're simply taking a cross-country highway trip across several states, you can turn off categories such as rural roads and/or minor city streets. This should give you the navigation information you need at a smaller file size. However, when file size is no problem, most users prefer to include as much detail as possible. All the examples in our User's Guide section use the original factory default settings, which have all the categories turned on. Even though a category is turned on, you may not see it on the Master Map because you have zoomed out too far. As long as the category is turned on, it will be included when you make your Map File, no matter what your zoom range is. Tip: Another command that works with category options to determine detail is the Detail Level Used option, under the VIEW|VIEW MAP DISPLAY OPTIONS menu.
