What is a template map, and how do I get one?
A template map is basically an empty map for your version of Streets & Trips, AutoRoute or MapPoint, which has been formatted for pushpins. (st2gpx cant import data into a map file unless it is formatted for pushpins.) You can create one by starting with a new map (file\new) in Streets & Trips, AutoRoute or MapPoint. Create a single pushpin, then delete the pushpin again (this formats the map structure for pushpins). Then save this file with a name like MapPoint_2003_USA_template.ptm.
