SYMPTOMS
When you open a map in one of the products listed in the &quot;Applies To&quot; section, you may not be able to see any elementary schools or high schools on the map. Only some colleges and universities are visible.



CAUSE
This behavior may occur if the map is configured to not display schools.

Some components of colleges and universities may be grouped in the &quot;Landmarks&quot; category. If the map is configured to display landmarks, you can view these colleges and universities, or components of them, on the map.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, configure the map to display schools. To do this, follow these steps:
 * 1) Start Microsoft Streets & Trips or Microsoft MapPoint.
 * 2) On the View menu, click Show or Hide Places.
 * 3) Click the Places tab.
 * 4) Click to select the Schools check box, and then click OK.

All the schools are now visible on the map.
