Sending Data to Your GPS Unit

If your GPS unit has a storage card, verify that the card
is inserted correctly into the unit. Also, connect your
GPS unit to your computer and set your unit's Data
Transfer mode to Garmin, if applicable (see your unit
owner's manual for instructions).
Types of data you can send are maps, waypoints,
routes, or tracks. Remember, you can only send maps
to an iQue.
NOTE: MapSource transfers all of the data listed
in a data tab to your GPS unit each time you
transfer data.
To send data to a GPS unit or card reader:
1. Select the data you want to send to your GPS
unit or card. The data appears in the correct tab
on the left side of the window.
2. Click Send To Device
Send To Device.... The name of your GPS unit
or card reader should appear automatically in
the Device menu. If not, click Find Device.
