Using the Mapping Databases

Many of the eTrex features require detailed mapping
data to be fully operational, so you may want to
transfer maps before using the unit. A microSD
(interchangeable with TransFlash
only with the Legend Cx) can be loaded with detailed
maps from optional MapSource
This can enhance the versatility of your eTrex. With
selected MapSource detailed mapping data, you can
view listings of nearby restaurants, lodging, shopping
centers, attractions and entertainment, and even
retrieve addresses and phone numbers for any listed
location. The amount of data that can be transferred
is determined by the capacity printed on the microSD
card.
Use a USB interface cable (provided with the Legend
Cx) to transfer MapSource data from a PC to the
microSD card when it is installed in the eTrex. You
can purchase microSD cards at your local electronics
supplier or refer to the accessory list in the Appendix.
See the Garmin Web site (http://www.garmin.com/
cartography/) for compatible MapSource products.
