Using MapSend
SO cards offer many advantages when working with maps
Before you get started, you may want to purchase an SD memory card from your
Magellan dealer or from any consumer electronics retailer. It is possible to store small
maps to eXplorist internal memory, but with SD cards you can save larger maps or more
maps - limited only by the size of SD card you choose. For reference, a MapSend Topo
map of the State of Washington will fit on a 64MB SD card, and a MapSend DirectRoute
routable street map of Southern California should also fit in 64MB.
Preparing and storing MapSend map regions on the PC
All MapSend CD-ROM products include a Quick Start Guide that explains the basics of
defining map regions on the PC. Except for saving and moving maps over to your
eXplorist, MapSend PC applications work the same way for eXplorist as for any other
compatible Magellan GPS receivers. Only the basics of storing a map region for eXplorist
are covered in this section.
When you have used MapSend to define a region
and are ready to upload, click the map upload
button on the MapSend tool bar. You will see this
dialog box:
Select Store on Hard Drive and then the Next
button. Do not choose "Upload to GPS Unit" or
"Upload to SD Card Programmer" for eXplorist.
Next you will see this dialog box:
Disregard the "Settings" and "Connect" options.
The first time you use any MapSend product, you
need to type in the software serial number for your
eXplorist in the Target GPS Unit serial number
field.
