Click on the Road Legend and,
holding the mouse down, drag the legend upwards so it is
closer to the Route Legend. Then click on the Map

boxes that allow you to hide or show any of the three
legends in the map window. Try hiding one of the
legends, and then display it again.

Now zoom into a small area around
Paris: use your cursor to drag a box around the city on
the map four or five times. You should see towns and
cities (represented by gray boxes) in the surrounding
area.

To label or hide a city, click the
Label Cities button on the tool bar. Click the gray
square that represents Montrouge (southwest of Paris) to
make its label disappear. Click again to restore the
label.

To label a road segment, click the
Label Roads button on the tool bar. Click on any of
the road shields on roads outside of Paris to
make them disappear. (Be sure to click in the center of
the label, while the name of the road is showing in a
yellow pop-up.) Clicking again in the same spot on a
label makes the label reappear.
-
To erase all changes you made to the
labeling, click on the Clear Labels button on the
tool bar. This will cause all default map settings to be
restored.

Now select Features… from the
Map menu. This dialog enables you to remove some
features on the map and to control the order in which
features are drawn. Features at the top of the list are
drawn on top of features that are below them on the
list. For example, try moving “Roads” to the top -
highlight “Roads” and click the To Top button.
Click OK and see how roads are now drawn on top
of all other features on the map. To entirely remove
roads from the map, open the Features dialog again and
click the check mark to remove it from “Roads”. Click
OK. Then put the road shields back on the map and
use the Lower button to place them under “Road
Names”.

Open the Features dialog again and
click Reset to restore the original settings,
then close the dialog.
