XML Format for Maps and Map Rules
Map source files have two definitions:
♦ XML document form, achieved by exporting a map.
♦ Internal map source file format, achieved when a map is built and saved in the
Map Designer.
Exporting the New_PO
The Map > Export command converts a map source file definition from the
internal map format to the xml document form.

3 From the Map menu, choose Export.
The Export Map(s) to an XML file dialog box appears with the active map
name in the File name field.
