To load a MapCreate route into iFINDER, follow instructions in Map-
Create's manual for creating a route and saving it as part of a GPS
Data File (file format *.usr). Copy the GPS Data File to an MMC and
insert the MMC in iFINDER. (See Sec. 2 for instructions on installing
MMCs. To load the GPS Data File into iFINDER memory, see the entry
on Transferring GPS Data Files between iFINDER and a Computer in
this section.)
