Use the Marker Lists Organizer

You must have the View - Developer Ribbon Tab option enabled to use this feature.

The Template Organizer Marker Lists tab shows a selection of existing map marker lists. Here you can browse through the lists and choose one to use on the current map. If you are working on a map, and you want to use the same set of markers on another map, you can save the current markers list for re-use. You can also duplicate, delete, or rename lists, add comments, and organize them into folders for easier reference.

Each map contains a marker list and begins with the default list from the template that is used to create the map.

• Drag and drop lists between folders to organize them.

• The Template command Duplicate creates a copy of the list (Copy of...) in case you want to add it to more than one folder, or modify it without changing the original.

• The Template command Delete removes the marker list from the Organizer and deletes it from disk.
