Saving Map Regions. Before saving the region, review the documentation that came with
MapSend to set what information will be saved with the region. In this example, Topo
information and POIs are wanted, so in the region
list make sure that the “T” and “P” boxes to the
left of the region name are bolded. Next, mark
the region for saving by clicking the checkbox to
the left of the region name.
Save the Region to Your Computer’s Hard Drive. Under
the Regions menu, select “Upload to GPS...” (Ctrl+U).
Click on the radio button for “Save on Hard Drive.”
IMPORTANT: Do NOT save directly to an SD card or
directly to the GPS unit. Map files saved from
MapSend need to be converted before using them in
the eXplorist. Maps saved directly to an SD card from
MapSend will not work in the eXplorist.
Click the Next > button.
Enter the serial number for your eXplorist in the space
provided. This can be found on your eXplorist by
accessing the About... screen (accessed from the main
menu). Do not use any of the Settings or Connect
buttons. Once the serial number has been entered,
click Next >. You will be asked to confirm the serial
number.
The Ready to Update window is displayed with
information about the region that you are saving. Click
on the Finish button to begin saving the region.
Note: MapSend automatically saves files to a specified location. The path to the saved files
is: Local Disk C:\Program Files\Magellan\‘MapSend Product Name’\Export\Images.
Connect the eXplorist to the Personal Computer: (This applies only if you are uploading the
detail map to the eXplorist or to an SD card installed in the eXplorist.)
Turn off the eXplorist and connect the USB cable supplied with your eXplorist to the back of
the eXplorist and a USB port on your computer. Turn the eXplorist on. The eXplorist will
come up in the USB File Transfer mode. (If not, and the Communication screen is displayed,
press ENTER. Select USB File Transfer and press ENTER. Select Internal Memory or SD
Card and press ENTER.)
Memory space in the eXplorist is very limited and it is recommended that you save detailed
maps to an SD Card. In this example, the eXplorist has been turned on and is in the USB
File Transfer mode, but internal memory is selected. To change to the SD card, press
ENTER. Select USB File Transfer and press ENTER. Select SD Card and press ENTER.)
