WARNING! A CAREFUL NAVIGATOR NEVER RELIES ON ONLY ONE METHOD TO OB- TAIN POSITION INFORMATION. CAUTION When showing navigation data to a position (waypoint), a GPS unit will show the shortest, most direct path to the waypoint. It provides navigation data to the way- point regardless of obstructions. Therefore, the prudent navigator will not only take advantage of all available navigation tools when traveling to a waypoint, but will also visually check to make sure a clear

Click Done to complete the registry process. NOTE: If the AUTOMATICALLY APPEND LABEL TO SAVED MAPS box is selected (see figure above), MapCreate will automatically add your card's label to the end of whatever name you give the file you are saving.

To can- cel this option, click the Automatically Append… box to remove the check mark. 11. A window s

jump through to cram a high-detail map into your GPS unit. First of all, those CDs you just purchased contain a whole bunch of raw digi- tal cartography data. There are several hundred files of digital mapping in- formation containing lake shorelines, navigation aids, roads, rivers and all the other information that goes into our high-detail maps. It takes some fancy formatting to fit the whole world onto a few compact discs. Your GPS unit can't read those raw files (called atlas files). Eve

But, if you want to pick up an ex- tra tip or two, look over this segment describing the file formats and mem- ory cards MapCreate works with. Map Border File This file defines the boundary of the raw cartography data that is extracted and converted to a GPS custom map, or Map File. The border file informa- tion is displayed on the computer's Master Map screen as either a green r

You cannot make changes to a Map File once it has been created. If you want to make changes to a map, return to its original companion Map Bor- der File or retrieve the map borders by opening the Map File (*.lcm). Make your changes to the border, then create a fresh Map File. You can delete the old one, or just save the new map over the old map. Important Notes: File Encryption and Card Limits We collect and purchase cartography data from several sources. Much of this data is copyrighted,

don't have to take a computer and cable with you to load a new map in the field. If the unit is mounted in a vehicle, there is no need to dismount it and carry it to a computer. The effective mapping memory capacity of your GPS unit is restricted only by the capacity and number of memory cards you want to carry with you, up to the five-card limit. This is a handy feature for long journeys or for users who can't lug a laptop computer along. Four factors control Map File size: 1. map detail

MapCreate can be used to save valuable travel or adventure data for a later trip. This also makes it easy to exchange GPS data with friends using Brunton Atlas GPS units. ASCII Text File This is a universal text file format compatible with word processors and other software. MapCreate can exchange routes and waypoint lists with other mapping programs by importing and exporting GPS information as comma-delimited ASCII text files. ASCII (pronounced "ask-ee") uses the *.txt file extension.

Mapping Detail: There's more here than meets the eye. The Map Files you make with MapCreate contain more mapping detail than what is visible on your computer screen. Your MapCreate-6-compatible GPS unit takes full advantage of this extra information. Find Highway Exit Services For example, move your mouse pointer over a highway exit symbol on the computer map, and all you'll see is a pop-up tool-tip box listing the name of the exit. However, in a Brunton Atlas unit, the same exit symbol w
