What To Do With Existing Datasets

If you have saved any imagery or data, including Aerial Data Packets (ADPs), to the default 

location in previous versions of DeLorme software (C:\DeLorme Docs\Downloads), you 

must manually copy each file to the new DeLorme Docs\Downloads folder located in C:\

Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\DeLorme Docs. This will allow the imagery 

or data to automatically display as a base data connection. Each data and imagery type is 

available to separately download from NetLink; however, you can still use any ADPs that 

you may have.
If you have existing map datasets such as 3-D TopoQuads, XMap USA Street Level Data, 

or XMap USA Topographic Data, you can view them in this version of XMap. The procedure 

for viewing base map data in XMap 6 is the same in previous versions of XMap. The data 

can be viewed while it is in your DVD drive or from your computer’s hard drive after the 

data is saved. If the data does not display in XMap, click the 

Map Data

 tab, click 

Data

, and 

then click 

Base Data

. Then add the hard drive location where the data is saved (the DVD 

drive is automatically added as a base data location). 
You can view older versions of Phone Data in XMap 6. For more information on connecting 

Phone Data, see the
