Working With MapCreate
Starting MapCreate
If you installed the Compact version of MapCreate, make sure the CD-
ROM for the area you intend to use is in the CD-ROM drive. Otherwise,
you can insert any MapCreate CD. (Remember, even if you installed the
Full version, a disc must be in the drive each time you start the program.
This is one of MapCreate's copy protection features.)
NOTES:
• For earlier MapCreate owners: If you have both an earlier version
of MapCreate and MapCreate 6.3 installed on your computer and
run the programs from the CD, be sure you have the correct version
of the CD in your drive when working with the two programs. Run-
ning MapCreate 6.0 with the version 6.3 CD or vice versa will gen-
erate an error message when you try to build a map. The data discs
are not compatible with each version of the program. If you made
full custom installations of both programs to your hard drive, this
error message will not appear because each version has its own
unique directory on your hard drive.
• For Compact or Custom installations of version 6.3: the high detail
map data is organized into multiple regions recorded on different
CDs. The manual addendum shipped with your MapCreate package
contains a map showing which region is on which CD. Refer to the
map to help you decide what disc to use. If you are using a Compact
installation and you want to see medium detail world maps, use the
disc 1 CD.
