Installing The Data Card - Garmin StreetPilot III Quick Start Manual

You received one Metro Area DCA unlock code through web (or phone) registration with the
purchase of your StreetPilot III. So what if you plan to use your StreetPilot III when you're traveling in
a major city that' s outside the detailed coverage area that you have access to? Just purchase an unlock
code for another DCA, or for the entire U.S. and Canada. You can purchase additional unlock codes
from the GARMIN Web site. Then, using the same City Navigator CD that came with your unit, you'll
have access to more coverage areas. Keep in mind you will always have good map information from
your StreetPilot III' s built-in basemap without using the City Navigator detail.
Transferring City Navigator CD Data to a Data Card (USB Programmer)
Included with your purchase of the StreetPilot III is a Universal Serial Bus (USB) Data Card
Programmer, which allows you to quickly download maps from your PC to a 32-megabyte data card
that is also included with the StreetPilot III. Follow the directions in the USB Data Card Programmer
User' s Manual to install the software, then connect the programmer to your PC' s USB port. Once you've
inserted the City Navigator CD and started the MapSource program on your PC, move the cursor to the
pull-down menu at the top of the screen and select "City Navigator."
Now, select the detailed coverage areas you want to download. You can continue to add map areas
until the total map size reaches 32-megabytes. Click on the download button at the top of the screen,
and the information quickly downloads to the data card. As you load different map areas, MapSource
will overwrite previously stored data.

Installing The Data Card

When you're fi nished downloading, remove the Data Card from the USB Programmer and insert it
into the slot-with the label facing toward the front of the StreetPilot III. Make sure the connector end of
the cartridge is inserted into the slot, NOT the handle end. When properly inserted, the cartridge will
protrude slightly from the slot (not fl ush).
I
CAUTION: Incorrect data card installation can result in internal damage to your GPS unit!

The USB Programmer will allow you to download City
Navigator Maps very rapidly using your PC. Refer to the
USB Programmer Owner's Manual for additional instruc-
tions.
NOTE: Older model PC's may not have a USB port or
operating system support for a USB connection. In such
instances, you can program the Data Card directly through
the StreetPilot III. Connect the StreetPilot III to your PC
using the supplied PC Cable. Insert the Data Card into
the SteetPilot III. Then, run the MapSource program (see
MapSource Owners Manual) to transfer map data.
Using this method to program your Data Card is MUCH
slower than a USB connection. Map data that transfers in
minutes using a USB programmer can take 1/2 hour or
longer when programmed through the StreetPilot III.
