Saving Your Map

Each time you make the map editable, a backup of the map is created automatically. You can revert to the backup version by choosing Revert... from the Edit menu.

When you make a change to a map, the change is saved immediately, automatically, every minute or so.

Making a backup of your map

If for some reason you want to make changes to your map, but you want to be able to get back to your original version if necessary, you can make a backup of your map.

When you make a backup file, it stores references to your original chart data. If you decide to restore a previous version, your chart data remains available.

To make a backup:

  1. From the File menu, choose Backup... The Backup Map window appears, showing a list of previous backups of the current map.
  2. In the Backup Name box, enter the name you want to use for the backup file.
  3. Click OK. A backup of the current map is created.

Note: Backups are stored in the InterMapper Settings/Maps (Backups) folder.

Restoring a previous version of your map

Use the Restore... command, available from the File menu, to restore a previous version of a map.

To restore a previous version:

  1. From the File Menu, choose Restore.... The Restore from Backup window appears, showing a list of previous backups of the map.
  2. Click the backup you want to use to restore the map.
  3. Click Restore. The map is restored to the backup version.
