MapSource™
is compatible with all GARMIN
GPS systems except the GPS 100 family
of products (GPS 100AVD, GPS 100MRN,
GPS 100MIL, SRVY II) and panel mount
aviation units. Trip and waypoint
planning is possible for all other
units; however, the map transfer
feature is only compatible with the
following GARMIN GPS units: GPS

NavTalk,

MapSource product, the real-time track
plotting function will work only with
a valid unlock code for the GPS unit
being used.
MapSource
software allows you to view color maps
on a personal computer, with zoom and
pan functions for easy map browsing.
Use the trip and waypoint manager
functions to create waypoints, routes,
and tracks, and transfer them between
your PC and nearly all GARMIN GPS
units. This is excellent for planning
your next outdoor adventure, business
trip, vacation, or recreational outing
without ever leaving your house.
For
those units that accept the map
transfer feature (see product list
above), users can either download
MapSource CD ROM content to data cards
or directly to their units depending
on the GPS product that they own. To
download information directly to your
GPS, simply connect your GARMIN GPS to
your PC using a PC interface cable.
Select the map areas on screen, and
with the click of the mouse, the
information downloads to your GPS.
Some units require a GARMIN data card
to download. GARMIN offers a variety
of blank data cards, including an 8MB,
16MB, 32MB, 64MB and 128MB. Choose the
size that best fits your required
coverage area.
When
using a locked MapSource product, the
real-time track plotting function will
work only with a valid unlock code for
the GPS unit being used.
MapSource
Unlock — Applicable
only to City Navigator, Fishing Hot
Spots®, City Select, and BlueChart™.
