Users’ Note
The Outline Maps found on the EasyPlanner CD-ROM are “low-resolution”
maps. This saves you time when printing and viewing the maps with your
computer--perhaps as much as 5-10 minutes per map. However, it means the
maps print using “grayscale,” and depending on the quality of your printer,
the images produced may not be as clear as you would like them to be. For
“high-resolution” maps, please use the print Outline Map booklet found in
the Teacher’s Resource Package.
