Use the following steps to receive waypoints from your device.

The Connect to Computer screen appears.
2. On the device, highlight Data Exchange and press ENTER.
3. In your mapping application, click the Exchange button
The Earthmate PN-Series Exchange dialog box opens.
4. In the right pane of the dialog box:
If you want to receive one waypoint at a time into Topo USA, click the plus
sign next to Waypoints, and then click the waypoint you want to receive.
OR
If you want to receive all waypoints, just click Waypoints.
5. In the left pane of the dialog box, click the plus sign next to Waypoint

want to copy the waypoint to a new waypoint layer, click New and then click

Note If you do not select a layer and an existing waypoint layer is
highlighted in the left pane of the dialog box, the waypoint is received in that
layer. If a non-waypoint option is highlighted (for example, a track layer), a
new waypoint layer is automatically created.

A progress bar indicates the copy status.
7. Click Done.
