Tech Tip:
Using the Map Librarian to Map 2010 USA Demographic Data

The following steps walk you through this task: 1. Choose Tools-Map Librarian, and make a choice from the Choose a Map Category list. 2. Choose one or more maps from the Choose the Map(s) You Want list (Ctrl- and Shift-clicking allow multiple choices). 3. Choose Other Location... from the Choose a Bookmark list, and click OK. Maptitude displays the Find tool. 4. Choose whether to display the chosen maps for an address, city, ZIP Code, county, or state from the scroll list and enter information about the chosen location in the edit boxes. 5. Click OK.
