ADD NEW ITEMS

There are the two primary ways to add a new map into Mapline:

Click the Mapline logo from anywhere in Mapline, and select New Map from the dropdown menu.

Your new map opens automatically, so you can start customizing it right away.

It’s a good idea to choose a name that reflects the purpose of your map. However, if you change your mind, you can always change the name later.
