Transfer Custom Maps and GPS Data Files

Custom Maps:

Custom maps work only from the MMC card or SD card. When a card containing a Custom Map File is loaded into the unit, the unit auto- matically loads the map into memory when the unit is turned on.

Instructions for copying Custom Map Files to an MMC are contained in the instruction manual for your MMC card reader and MapCreate 6 software. For instructions on inserting an MMC into the unit, see Sec. 2, Installation/Accessories.

NOTE:

To load a Navionics chart, see Sec. 8 for the entry Navionics Charts.

GPS Data files:

GPS Data Files contain waypoints, routes, trails and event marker icons. Instructions for copying GPS Data Files between your computer and an MMC are contained in the instruction manual for your MMC card reader and MapCreate 6 software.

GPS data automatically recorded in the unit's internal memory must be saved to the MMC (as a GPS Data File) in order to store it on your per- sonal computer. GPS Data Files stored on an MMC must be copied from the card to the unit's internal memory before the unit can read them. Here's how:

1.Insert the MMC into your unit. Press MENUMENU↓ to SYSTEM SETUPENT↓ to TRANSFER MY DATAENT and the screen below appears.

The Transfer My Data submenu asks if you want to save data to the

MMC or load data from the MMC into the unit's memory.
