Magellan eXplorist - Page 150

Using MapSend
To locate the serial number of your eXplorist:
On the eXplorist, push the Menu key and select
About from the menu list. The following screen
will appear on the unit:
This is the number you will type as the serial
number in the "Target GPS ..." input field in
MapSend.
Click the Next button in the MapSend upload screen. MapSend will then prepare the
map(s) and save them in a folder on your hard disk. It may take some time to format
and save if you are creating large map regions. Part of the reason is that MapSend is
compressing the map so it performs well on the eXplorist.
Use the Magellan Conversion Manager to Copy Maps to eXplorist Storage
Media
Now that you have your map regions saved on the PC hard drive, you need to transfer
maps to eXplorist storage media. The easiest way is to use the Magellan Conversion
Manager. This program can be installed from your eXplorist welcome disk or you can
download it from the eXplorist support section of the Magellan Web site.
To transfer stored map regions to SD cards
or eXplorist memory, click the Conversion
Manager icon on your desktop. You will see
this dialog box on the PC:
Select Transfer Map Regions and click Next.
The next window in the Conversion Manager
will ask you to insert the SD card into the
card reader or connect the eXplorist unit to
the PC. If you wish to transfer maps to the
eXplorist, make sure it is connected, turn it
on, and set it to File Transfer mode.
When you're ready, click Next again in the Conversion Manager. The PC will search for
stored map files.
NOTE: MapSend programs store saved map files in this location on the PC hard drive:
