Limble gives you the ability to create multiple maps catered to your specific needs. Each map is able to have its own name and parameters set. To get started, click “Add Map.

Changing Names

To name your new map, click on the text box in the middle labeled “New Map.” Clicking on the text field once will allow you to change the name.

If you click on the text field a second time, the option to bold, italicize, change the texts’ color, add a hyperlink, add a phone number, or revert the changes to default appear above it. Clicking off the box saves the name as well as any changes.
