# Viewing LandXML roads in the map

In the map, the horizontal alignment for a LandXML road is shown as a red line.

If the road is not shown in the map, tap to open the Layer manager and select the Map files tab. Select the file and then make the appropriate layer(s) visible and selectable. The file must be in the current project folder.

In the map, tap the alignment to select it. The horizontal alignment is shown as a blue line.

When you select an alignment, available actions depend on the file format:

- For a LandXML cross section road, tap:
  - Define to define or edit the road.
  - Review to review the road.
  - Stakeout to stake the road.
- For a LandXML string road, tap:
  - Edit to edit the road (the road is already fully defined when exported from office software).
  - Review to review the road.
  - Stakeout to stake the road.

To show or hide roads or other linked files in the map, tap to open the Layer manager and select the Map files tab. Tap a file to make it visible or to hide it. This is useful for reviewing a road relative to related secondary roads, particularly at interchanges and intersections.
