Using Detailed Mapping Data

Many of the Rino features require detailed mapping data

to be fully operational, so you may want to transfer maps

before using the unit. The microSD card (not provided

with your unit) can be loaded with detailed maps and

mapping data from optional MapSource CDs for a

computer. This enhances the versatility of your Rino.

With selected MapSource detailed mapping data, you can

view listings of nearby restaurants, lodging, shopping

centers, attractions and entertainment, and addresses and

phone numbers for any listed location.
Map data transfer requires the USB interface cable

provided with the unit to transfer MapSource data from

a computer to the microSD card in the Rino. Inserting

the microSD card in a standard SD card adapter and card

reader allows for faster transfer.
To purchase high capacity microSD cards and pre-

loaded map data sets from Garmin. Visit the Garmin

Web site:

for compatible

MapSource products.

Once installed in your Rino, the microSD card is used for

storage of mapping data, tracks, and as a mass storage

device for other types of data.
A Data Card Information page is available to view

statistical data about the microSD card. You can

determine how much card space is used for maps, tracks,

and for miscellaneous data. You can also view the amount

of free space available and the total space currently being

used. When purchasing a microSD card for your unit,

take into consideration the amount of data you plan to

store on the card.

NOte: Waypoints stored on the microSD card

cannot be used by the Rino. Waypoints transferred

using MapSource are stored on the unit memory, and

are used by the Rino.
