Backing up data

Your MapSight is designed to protect your data. However, it is still a good idea to back up your
data regularly by saving information to a desktop computer or to a Secure Digital (SD) card.
Backing up to a desktop computer: To copy files from your MapSight to a desktop computer,
follow these steps:
If you have Windows® 2000 or Windows® XP, re-establish an ActiveSync®
connection and continue with Steps 2-6.
Note: If you have Microsoft® Windows Vista/7™, we recommend installing
Windows Mobile Device Center™ on your desktop computer from the Microsoft
website or by selecting Start > Programs > Microsoft Update on your desktop
computer. You can then sync your MapSight with your desktop computer. For
more instructions about using Windows Vista/7™, visit Microsoft's website.
In the ActiveSync window on your desktop computer,
click the [Explore] button on the toolbar. Alternatively
the 'Explore Device' option can be found from the
'Tools' menu
A new File Explorer window will open, showing the file
directory for MapSight 'Mobile Device'.
Select the files on MapSight you want to copy.
Copy the files by choosing Edit > Copy or by right-
clicking and choosing Copy.
Paste the files onto the desktop computer.
