Map files for eXplorist always have the .imi or .mgi file extension plus the name you
chose for the region when you defined the map region. For example, if you made a region
named "Rockies", the saved map file will be Rockies.imi or Rockies.mgi depending on
the MapSend product you used.Important note: files created from MapSend Worldwide
Basemap must have a .mgi extension to be compatible with eXplorist.
If you are using a version of MapSend Worldwide Basemap, that produces .img files,
check the Magellan website for the software patch v.1.30 or higher that is needed to
create .mgi files.
The Magellan Conversion Manager searches for any .imi files in the Programs\Magellan
path on your hard drive. It shows the maps it found and any viable storage media
connected to the PC on the next screen, like this:
If you don’t see the map you want to use in the list box on the left of this screen, you
can click the magnifying glass button to
search for maps elsewhere on your PC.
Click the checkbox next to any map image(s)
you wish to copy to eXplorist storage media,
and then choose the storage destination from
the drop down list on the right. At the lower
right of this dialog is shown how much data
you’ve chosen to transfer and how much
storage space is available. Click Next to start
the map transfer. Please allow plenty of time
for the file to write to an SD card before
removing the card from the card writer.
