Working With MapCreate
Easy Mode Quick Start Reference
If you're really in a hurry, this summary will tell you how to work
MapCreate's easy mode, MapSelect. (If you haven't installed the
program yet, see those instructions on page 13. Before you start, make
sure your MMC card reader is installed and working, and you know the
card reader's drive letter.)
How to select and save a pre-defined custom map
1. Insert an MMC or SD card in your card reader. Each pre-drawn map
takes about 8 MB of space, so two maps will fit on a 16 MB card, four will
fit on a 32 MB card, and so forth.
2. Begin by clicking the Windows

3. The full map display appears. Red lines represent pre-drawn custom map
borders. Move your mouse pointer over a map segment and it turns gray,
showing it's selected. At the bottom of the screen, a selected map's Map
Name and Map Size are both displayed, as well as disk space available.
4. Locate the area you want to create a map of. Move the mouse pointer
over the area to highlight and select it, then click on the selected map.
5. MapSelect displays a message asking if you want to save the map to
a particular drive. If the drive letter is correct for your MMC card
reader, click

area. When the Save Map Message appears, click

6. Wait while the program builds the map. A progress box shows the
map building and saving process under way. Do not remove the MMC
card from the reader until the completion message appears,
telling you that it's safe to take out the card! After the completion
message appears, click

remove the card from the reader and install
it in your GPS unit. Click
