Transferring MapSource Data

If you have purchased a Garmin MapSource Data

program you may want to transfer detailed map data

before beginning use. The Rino 520/530 accepts up to

56 MB of map data from most MapSource products. It

is not possible to transfer thirrd party maps into Garmin

products.
You cannot view multiple types of MapSource data in the

same location at the same time (one replaces the other if

there is an overlap). When you leave a CitySelect area

for example, and enter the area of a topographic map,

the display changes to contour lines. The same is true

when moving from a topo map to a CitySelect map. The

BlueChart maps are at the top of the hierarchy and will

replace any other map information. Here is the list of the

hierarchy of Rino compatible maps for your reference:

1. BlueChart

2. City Select

3. MetroGuide

4. Fishing Hot Spots

5. Points of Interest

6. U.S. Waterways & Lights

7. U.S. Topo

8. Roads and Recreation

9. WorldMap

Map data transfer requires the use of a PC, a Garmin

MapSource Data Disk, and the PC Interface Cable with USB

port connector supplied with this unit. Follow instructions for

data transfer in the MapSource User’s Manual.

To set up for data transfer:
1. Before attaching the data cable to your PC, install

the Trips and Waypoints Manager CD-ROM

provided with your unit. It also installs USB drivers

specifically needed to communicate with your Rino.

2. Remove the Data Port cover on the back of the

unit by lifting up on the protective cover on the

back of the unit.

3. Connect the Mini-USB connector on the cable to

the PC USB port.

4. Connect the remaining Mini USB connector to the

back of the Rino 520/530 by orienting the connector

with the slot on the back of the unit.

5. Turn on the Rino 520/530 and follow instructions

for map data transfer provided in the MapSource

User’s Manual.
