The maps can be obtained from a CF card, an SD card or directly from the Internet. Mobile Crossing has a 1 Gigabyte CF card available with all of the US and Canada maps preloaded. You can also build your own card if you prefer. Using the Internet If you have an Internet connection on your WayPoint unit you can use this connection to download maps. Generally a broadband connection is needed to minimize the download time. You will be downloading more than 70 Megabytes of data in multiple files. No single file will be larger than 4 Megabytes. Should you lose your connection during the download this will be detected and you can recover and continue with the download. Using a card If you have a CF or SD card available containing the source map files you can use this card to install the maps you have purchased. Mobile Crossing offers a 1 Gigabyte CF card containing all of the maps. If you build your own card and accidently miss some of the files the program will detect this and offer to download them from the Internet. It is possible to mix source map files and loaded map files on the same SD card. Making your own Map Loader card This section is only for advanced users who know how to work directly with the file system on a pc. To minimize the time to build a Map Loader card you may wish to utilize a card reader. You may also need an unzipper depending on how your get your source maps. The first step is to obtain a card and place a directory called WpMaps on the root of the card. All of the source maps will go in this directory. [. . . ] This will remove the entire contents of your map directory. Map Loader will not be able to remove maps if you have them open in WayPoint. If a region still won't fit it means you have placed too much additional data on the Flash Disk. You will need to use the File Explorer to remove enough data so that your maps will fit. Recovering Missing Maps If the download failed to load all of the maps needed for a region you can revisit the Build Map screen to recover the missing files. [. . . ]
