The pre-installed and purchased maps are actually made up of numerous smaller maps. You can see what smaller maps make up the larger map family by pressing your unit's MENU page while you are on the Detail Maps Info page. From the new Menu page that will appear, select the Show Map Families icon. A list of all maps within all map families will appear. In the example below, a partial list of maps that make up the North American City Navigator map family are shown. Appendix Adding Maps to your StreetPilot You can disable these maps and the map detail for that area will no longer appear on the Map page. Changing Map Families when Finding Places If you have loaded additional map families into your StreetPilot (such as City Select Europe or MetroGuide Canada), you can specify which map family the StreetPilot uses while searching for cities and/ or places. Recall that you search for cities and places by pressing the unit's FIND key and then selecting the appropriate Find icon (Lodging, Services, Cities, etc.). The StreetPilot returns a list of results from one map family. For example, if you are searching for a restaurant in Paris, the StreetPilot will search from the City Select Europe map family and not the North American City Navigator map family. In this case, you do not need to change the map family because the map families do not share overlapping information. Thus, the StreetPilot knows which map family to use for this particular search. If your StreetPilot contains map families that might have overlapping information, you may need to specify a different map family. If you are searching for a restaurant in Ontario, for example, your StreetPilot might search from the North American City Navigator map family when you really want it to search from the MetroGuide Canada map family.

Adding Maps to your
StreetPilot
The pre-installed and purchased maps are actually made up of numerous smaller maps. You can see
what smaller maps make up the larger map family by pressing your unit’s
MENU
page while you are on the
Detail Maps Info
page. From the new
Menu
page that will appear, select the
Show Map Families
icon. A list of
all maps within all map families will appear. In the example below, a partial list of maps that make up the
North American City Navigator map family are shown.
You can disable these maps and the map detail for that area will no longer appear on the Map page.
Changing Map Families when Finding Places
If you have loaded additional map families into your StreetPilot (such as City Select Europe or
MetroGuide Canada), you can specify which map family the StreetPilot uses while searching for cities and/
or places. Recall that you search for cities and places by pressing the unit’s
FIND
key and then selecting the
appropriate Find icon (
Lodging
,
Services
,
Cities
, etc.). The StreetPilot returns a list of results from one map
family. For example, if you are searching for a restaurant in Paris, the StreetPilot will search from the City
Select Europe map family and not the North American City Navigator map family. In this case, you do not
need to change the map family because the map families do not share overlapping information. Thus, the
StreetPilot knows which map family to use for this particular search.
If your StreetPilot contains map families that might have overlapping information, you may need to
specify a different map family. If you are searching for a restaurant in Ontario, for example, your StreetPilot
might search from the North American City Navigator map family when you really want it to search from
the MetroGuide Canada map family. Change the map family by pressing the unit’s
MENU
key. From the
Select Enable All Maps or Disable all Maps to display
or hide detail map information on your Map page.
Select Show Map Families to display a list of smaller
maps that make up a map family.
