Using MapSend
Activating and Switching MapSend Maps on your eXplorist
Now you are ready to use your maps on your eXplorist. You can store
many detail map regions, but only one detail region can be active at
once. To activate a detail map, push the
Menu
button on the
eXplorist, then select
Preferences
on the Main Menu, followed by
Active Setup
. You will now see the following screen:
To make your detail map active, select the
Detail Maps
line and
press
Enter
. You will be shown the “Detail Maps” folder containing
your maps. If you decided to place your maps in a subdirectory, or another directory
entirely, move through the directories until you locate your map file. Once you select your
file, the eXplorist will ask you to confirm your selection, after which it will load your map
selection. You can go back to “Active Setup” and change the active map any time you
wish to change to another map you have stored in the eXplorist.
Summary
Following these instructions you will be able to expand the capabilities of your eXplorist
to new levels of detail. Not only will you be able to view highly detailed mapping
information, you will have the flexibility of switching to different maps, either stored
internally or on SD cards. This provides your Magellan eXplorist the ability to display and
navigate using highly detailed maps, limited only by the amount of memory you have at
your disposal and the MapSend products you are using.
