Creating map presentations

Map presentations allow you to add presentation markers or annotations to the map, save the presentation markers and/or annotations for future use or reference and display the presentation markers and/or annotations as a custom map layer. See Managing annotations. You can edit presentation markers and annotations at a later date if necessary. Saved presentation markers are referred to as annotation sets.

OnSite Solution has rules for working with annotation sets. See Understanding annotation sets.
