Page 6 WARNING! A CAREFUL NAVIGATOR NEVER RELIES ON ONLY ONE METHOD TO OBTAIN POSITION INFORMATION. CAUTION When showing navigation data to a position (waypoint), a GPS unit will show the shortest, most direct path to the waypoint. It provides navigation data to the waypoint regardless of obstructions.
Page 7 After you've gained some experience with the program, you may want to try some advanced features. That brings us to the Command Refer- ence, which is available only in the MapCreate 6 Help file. It contains — in alphabetical order — the more advanced command functions in MapCreate.

Page 11 Click Done to complete the registry process. NOTE: If the UTOMATICALLY figure above), MapCreate will automatically add your card's label to the end of whatever name you give the file you are saving. Let's use the figure above as an example. If we name our map "Phoenix.lcm," MapCreate will automatically name the file "Phoenix_CARD1.lcm."...
Page 12: How Mapcreate Works: The Basics
How MapCreate Works: the Basics You'll be making maps faster if you understand the hoops MapCreate must jump through to cram a high-detail map into your GPS unit. First of all, those CDs you just purchased contain a whole bunch of raw digital cartography data.
Page 13: File Formats & Functions
(rectangle map border) or a magenta polygon shape (corridor map border.) The file extension is *.lmp. In MapCreate 6.3, you can draw a border, then build and save a map without saving the border. However, some MapCreate power users still like to save their borders as Map Border Files.
Page 14: Important Notes: File Encryption And Card Limits
hard drive space is available, many users like to archive Map Files in the C:\Program Files\LEI\MapCreate\Data folder. This allows you to change maps on your card and reuse a map over and over without creating it each time. If you save a map to the Data folder, MapCreate will remember that location the next time you save a map, during the current work session.
Page 15: Important Notes About Cards And File Size
At press time, the MMCs shipped with the GPS Accessories Pack ver- sion of MapCreate 6.3 are 32 MB size. If you're using a 32 MB MMC, your Map File must be less than 32 MB in order to fit on the card. (This space issue is the same as floppy disks;...

NOTE: Due to software requirements in the GPS units, MMC or SD cards can hold a maximum of 32 different files at one time for the Lowrance iFINDER Lowrance or Eagle GPS receivers.

5 and 4. The GDM file extension is *.low. Although MapCreate 6 is designed to load and read older GPS Data Files in the *.low format, MapCreate 6.0 will only save GPS Data Files in the newer *.usr format. Please note that your MapCreate 6-compatible GPS unit can only read *.usr files.
Page 19: Gps Unit Compatibility
GPS units that use removable MMC/SD cards for map storage. Some units, however, may need a free software upgrade to work with Map- Create 6.3. Upgrades are available for download from the web sites, www.lowrance.com or www.eaglegps.com. Look for the MapCreate 6.3 section, which will contain a list of units that need upgrades.
Page 20: Find Points Of Interest
On the computer master map, moving your pointer over a Point of In- terest (POI) symbol triggers a pop-up box with the POI's name. With MapCreate 6.3, when the information is available, the pop-up box also displays the POI's address and telephone number. This detailed pop-up only works for items classified as Points of Interest.

You can turn detail ATEGORY PTIONS categories off and on by clicking in the check box beside them. A check mark shows that the category is turned on for display.
Page 47: Waypoint List Window
For example, if you're simply taking a cross-country highway trip across several states, you can turn off categories such as rural roads and/or minor city streets. This should give you the navigation in- formation you need at a smaller file size. However, when file size is no problem, most users prefer to include as much detail as possible.

Page 72: Creating A Route From A Trail
Creating a Route From a Trail A trail is a line drawn on the map by your GPS unit as you travel. It's a record of the path you've taken, showing where you've been. This fea- ture is also called a plot trail. In the field, the trail will extend from your present position back to where you began recording the trail.
Page 73 This example shows a portion of Trail 2, recorded during a business trip from Afton, Oklahoma to Kansas City, Missouri. The trail appears as a green line on the Master Map. It follows Interstate 44 to Carthage, Missouri, then Highway 71 north toward Kansas City. For easier view- ing, roads, highways and other features have been turned off.
Page 74 MapCreate converts the green trail line into a magenta route line with red waypoints. It does this by transforming thousands of position points in this trail to 25 route waypoints. See the illustration below, showing the trail and route before and after the command is performed. Trail segment through Joplin before conversion to a route (left) and the route created automatically from the trail (right).
