Installation of the USB Programmer and Device Drivers
1. Insert either the USB Data Card Programmer CD-ROM, MapSource
City Navigator CD-ROM, or MapSource Setup CD into your
computer’s CD-ROM drive. It is important you insert the CD
before you plug the USB Programmer into the PC! If the
MapSource program is open, close the program.
2. Connect the USB connector on the end of the Programmer cable
to the USB port on the back of the computer. Most computers
have two USB Ports. Either port should work. The computer does
not need to be turned off when connecting or disconnecting the
Programmer. After connecting the Programmer to your computer
you will need to install the device drivers from the CD-ROM.
3. The computer will recognize the Programmer as a USB (or unknown)
device and open the Add New Hardware Wizard and search for the
device drivers. Click on “Next”. If, for some reason, the Wizard does
not run automatically, click the Start button and select “Settings”
and then “Control Panel”. Double click on the “Add New Hardware”
icon.
4. The next screen will ask you if you want it to search for the best
driver for your device or if you want to display a list to choose
from. Select “Search for the best driver for your device” and click
on “Next”.
5. The next screen will display a list of locations to search for the new
drivers. Select CD-ROM Drive from the list and click on “Next”.
Make certain all other boxes remain unchecked.
6. The Wizard will search for the driver and then display a window
to tell you it is ready to install. Click on “Next”. You may see a
“Copying Files...” screen which tells you the fi le cannot be found.
Choose Root Directory of the CD-ROM drive if not already there,
and to try copying again (example d:\). Click “OK” to continue.

grammer.
