 digitizer toolbar also allows switching easily between vector maps to be

+The wxGUI vector digitizer draws all maps in the Layer Manager in the Map 
+Display window; in addition, the digitizer also recognizes a special 
+"background" vector map. This map is selected from the Layer Manager by 
+right-clicking on the map and selecting "Use as Background Map" from the
+contextual menu. The features of the background map may then be copied into
+the currently edited vector map using the "Copy features from (background) 
+vector map" button in the "Additional Tools" menu on the Digitzer Toolbar.
