ECMap lets you copy maps between projects and to and from directories. The copy map utility serves a number of different functions:
Create backup copies of your maps by creating a backup directory and copying maps into it. You can restore maps from these backups.
Use the same map in more than one project by copying a map and all related files from one project to another.
Reuse similar maps by modifying the copies, saving time that you would have spent developing and testing parts of the map that remain unchanged.
Send and receive maps by copying the map to a directory, compress it, and send it. If you receive a map, unzip it to a directory and then copy it from the directory to a map.
