Creating Mapper Map Modules is very easy. Users will follow these basic
steps when creating map modules:

3) Create a duplicate of the Starter Mapper Module folder.
4) Open the Starter Mapper Module project file.
5) Edit the contents of the ProjectData file.
6) Build your package and download to your Newton.

for more information on creating Mapper Map Modules.

Each Mapper Module consists of the following files:
