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, 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.

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 iFINDER's internal memory before the unit can read
them. Here's how:
