Export and import map source data

The MapApp includes separate import and export utilities to be able to transfer your map source data. Import and Export buttons appear on the menu bar of the Map Settings dialog box.

Both the import and export utilities use a comma-delimited CSV file to save the map source data. You can edit the file with Excel or text editors. When you export map source data, you must select a folder location where the export CSV file should be saved. Likewise, you must navigate to the folder containing the CSV file when you want to import the contents of the file to Map Settings. You see a message after your map settings file was successfully imported or exported.
The import/export file contains separate sections for the data specified in the tabbed Sources, Zoom Layers, and Locations areas of the Map Settings dialog box. Each section shows how the map source data should be ordered within a row, which corresponds to the order of the grid column headings. For example, the Sources section of the file shows the sources map data should be ordered as:
Name, Provider, Configuration
which correspond to the grid column headings of the Sources area.
