Transferring Pois, Routes, And Track Between Mapsend And Explorist; Transferring Pois, Routes, And Track To Mapsend - Magellan eXplorist 600 Reference Manual

Using the eXplorist with MapSend

Transferring POIs, Routes, and Track Between MapSend and eXplorist

You can transfer POIs, routes and track logs to and from MapSend and the eXplorist using
the Magellan Conversion Manager. Since the eXplorist stores these data items in a more
accessible manner than previous GPS receivers, you must use the Magellan Conversion
Manager instead of transferring the files directly in MapSend. (The Magellan Conversion
Manager can be installed using the Magellan Wizard CD-ROM that came with your eXplorist.)
