APPENDIX > TRANSFERRING MAPSOURCE DATA

Transferring MapSource Data

If you have purchased a Garmin MapSource CD-ROM mapping program you may want to transfer detailed map data before beginning use, to provide your unit with maximum Find features and mapping capability. The Rino 130 accepts up to 24 MB of map data from most MapSource products. It is not possible to transfer 3rd party maps into Garmin products.

You cannot view multiple types of MapSource data in the same location at the same time (one replaces the other if there is an overlap). When you leave a MetroGuide area for example and enter the area of a topographic map, the display changes to contour lines. The same is true when moving from a topo map to a MetroGuide map. The BlueChart maps are at the top of the hierarchy and will replace any other map information. Here is the list of the hierarchy for your reference:

1.BlueChart

2.MetroGuide

3.Fishing Hot Spots

4.Points of Interest

5.U.S. Waterways & Lights

6.U.S. Topo

7.Roads and Recreation

8.WorldMap

Map data transfer requires the use of a PC, a Garmin MapSource CD-ROM, and the PC Interface Cable with RS-232 serial port connector supplied with this unit. Follow detailed instructions for data transfer in the MapSource User’s Manual.
