Transfer Custom Maps and GPS Data Files

Custom Maps:
Custom maps work only from the MMC or SD card. When a card con-
taining a Custom Map File is loaded into the unit, it automatically
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 iFINDER, see
Sec. 2, Installation/Accessories.

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.

the card to the iFINDER's internal memory before the unit can read
