Section 2: Installing MapCreate 6.3
System Requirements
MapCreate 6 requires the following minimum system resources:
• IBM ®
compatible PC.
• Pentium ®
133 MHz or faster processor.
• 32 MB RAM
• approximately 300 MB free hard disk space, depending on your
version of the program.
• 256 color display.
• Microsoft
®
Windows
®
98 or later.
• CD-ROM
drive.
MapCreate will run on a system with the above specifications, but the pro-
gram will work slowly. A faster processor and more RAM will significantly
improve program operation. You can also optimize performance by install-
ing 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 or Full install modes,
described below.)
IMPORTANT NOTES:
For copy protection purposes, you must have one of the MapCreate
CDs in the disc drive each time you launch MapCreate. Depending
on the type of installation you select, you may remove the CD after
starting the program. (This allows you to use the CD drive for another
purpose, such as listening to music, while working with maps and GPS
data.)
The data used in our maps is copyrighted. To prevent illegal copying of
this data, all maps built by MapCreate are required to be encrypted
(locked) to a specific memory card. Encryption requires MapCreate to
retrieve unique information from your card. This requires special soft-
ware not compatible with third party card readers, so MapCreate will
only work with the LEI MMC/SD card reader provided by Brunton.
If the card reader is not correctly installed with the LEI drivers, Map-
Create will not open. After all the MapCreate files are installed, the in-
stallation program will install the drivers for the LEI card reader.
Installation Types
There are three types of installations:
Compact - Installs navigational aid data, the low-detail background
map (Master Map) data and world-wide, medium-detail
map data. Takes approximately 300 MB of free hard
drive space.
Custom - Allows installation of the program and all map data files
