Using MapSource > Transferring MapSource Data Transferring MapSource Data You can send map sets, waypoints, routes, and tracks to your GPS unit or storage card, or you can receive data from your GPS unit or storage card. You may use one of the following methods to transfer data to or from your GPS unit (check your GPS unit owner's manual to see what data transfer options are available): • Serial or USB Cable • USB Data Card Programmer or USB Data Card Programmer RoHS (USB 2.0)-You can use this method if your GPS unit uses a Garmin data card (not preprogrammed). The USB Data Card Programmer RoHS works with Windows 2000 or newer. • Compact Flash (CF) or Secure Digital (SD) Card Reader-If your GPS unit uses a CF, SD, micro SD, or transflash card, you can purchase a third-party card reader to transfer data. In some instances, you cannot transfer waypoints, routes, or tracks using a card reader. Each time you transfer maps to a data card, you completely erase all data currently stored on the card and replace it with new data. However, if you store maps on a data card and you transfer waypoints, routes, or tracks, you will not erase the maps on the card. You can transfer waypoints, routes, and tracks from a data card to your GPS unit's internal memory to prevent them from being deleted from your data card. You cannot save maps from a data card to your GPS unit's internal memory. NOTE: Not all units can accept waypoints, routes, or tracks from a data card. Check your GPS unit owner's manual to see if your unit is compatible. iQue® Users To transfer data to and from an iQue, you may need to synchronize with your personal computer. You may not be able to send or receive all types of data to/from your iQue. For more information, refer to your iQue owner's manual. 12 MapSource User's Manual
