Tech Tip:
Mapping MSAs, ZIP Code Points, &
3-Digit ZIP Codes
(United States)
Maps are composed of different types of information and Maptitude organizes all of these map features into layers. When you create or work with a map, you choose the layers you want to see and decide how each layer should look. There are layers that are not used in the default maps such as U.S. Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs), 5-digit ZIP Code points, and 3-Digit ZIP Codes. These layers are included with Maptitude and can be added to any map. The following steps walk you through this task: 1. Choose File-New, choose Map from the New File dialog box, and click OK. This brings you to the Create-a-Map Wizard. 2. Choose the General Purpose Map option, and choose an Area to Display in the Map. 3. Click Next> and click Finish. 4. Choose Map-Layers from the menu, and then choose Add Layer. 5. Browse to the c:\ccdata\ folder (the default location Maptitude uses to install layer files) and choose Geographic File as the file type. 6. Choose one or more geographic files such as ccCBSA.Cdf which contains US Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs); or ccZIP5Pt.Cdf for ZIP Code points; or ccZIP3.Cdf for 3-Digit ZIP Code areas. 7. Click Open. Map layers in the geographic files are added to the layers in the map. 8. Click Close. Maptitude draws the map with the new layers. The layer list in the Display Manager is updated to include the added layers. If you save the workspace, the new layers will automatically be included in the map the next time you open the workspace. |
