Map Maker

	There are a few new things you can do with the Map Maker in this release.
	Now with one click you can erase everything and start over with a plain map of North America. If you'd rather just clear your map and start adding new map layers, you can do so with a single button press. Ever wanted to save your map so that you could retrieve it later? Now you can. And we've made it easy for you to share your maps with others using electronic mail too.
