Section 2: Installing MapCreate 6.2

System Requirements
MapCreate 6 requires the following

minimum system resources:

• IBM

compatible PC.

• Pentium

133 MHz or faster processor.

• 32 MB RAM
• 50 MB hard disc space.
• 256 color display.
• Microsoft

Windows

98 or later.

• CD-ROM drive.

MapCreate will run on a system with the above specifications, but the
program will work slowly. A faster processor and more RAM will
significantly improve program operation. You can also optimize
performance by installing as much of the program as possible to run
from your hard drive instead of the CD-ROM drive. (Do this by using
the Custom install mode, described below.)

Installation Types
There are three types of installations:

Typical - Installs nav aid data, the low detail background map

(Master Map) data and world-wide medium detail
map data. Takes approximately 70 MB of hard drive
space. Requires you to have the CD in the drive only
when working in high detail map mode for the
continental United States and Hawaii.

Compact - Installs the MapCreate program with Help only.

Requires you to have the CD in the drive whenever
you use the program. The compact install allows you
to conserve hard drive space.

Custom - Allows installation of the program and all map data

files on the hard drive. This takes approximately 1
gigabyte of hard disk space. You may run the
program without the CD in the drive.

Caution: Be

patient if you choose custom install. It may take
several minutes for all the files to install to the hard
drive. You will also be prompted to remove disc 1 and
insert disc 2 to complete the installation.

NOTE:

If you already have MapCreate 6.0 or MapCreate 6.1 installed on
your computer,

you must uninstall it before installing MapCreate

6.2. Some MapCreate 6.2 functionality will not be included and the
