MapCreate Topo is ideal for aviation, backpacking and related outdoor

GPS receiver. MapCreate Topo is the first GPS mapping software to
offer such extensive boundary data for several types of public hunting
lands, game management units and related areas.
NOTE:
MapCreate Topo and its companion iFINDER HUNT GPS were in-
troduced in the summer of 2004, but their development is continu-
ing. More free features and enhancements are planned for release
as the fall hunting season approaches. We strongly recommend
you check the Lowrance web site, www.lowrance.com, for free
downloads of updated software and instruction manuals.
The high detail map data provided with this program is organized into
six regions. To install MapCreate, follow the instructions in the manual

gion is recorded on which CD.
