Appendix G
MapSource
Data
MapSource CD-ROM data transferred to the map data
card can dramatically increase the mapping capability of the
eMap in both the amount of map detail and available maps.
MetroGuide
®
maps contain detailed information and are
required for using the Find Menu, Points of Interest,
Addresses and Intersections options. MapSource maps can
also provide U.S. Geological Survey topographical data,
local streets and roads, nautical navigation aids, political
boundaries and all major traffic routes for specified
geographical areas.
The eMap can display a maximum of 525 MapSource
maps depending on the size of each map and size of the data
card (MetroGuide
®
maps contain so much data that they fill the
capacity of an 8 MB map data card, thus allowing only one
map to be transferred onto the card). If you desire to transfer
many maps you may want to use optional 16, 32, 64, or 128
MB map data cards. Refer to Appendix A for ordering
information.
You cannot view multiple types of MapSource data in the
same location at the same time (one will draw over the other).
When you leave a MetroGuide area for example and enter the
area of a topographic map, the display will change to contour
lines. The same is true when moving from a topo map to a
MetroGuide map.
The MetroGuide maps are at the top of the hierarchy and
will replace any other map information. Here is the list of the
hierarchy for your reference beginning with those titles that
take precedence:
1. City Navigator 2. MetroGuide 3. U.S. Waterways & Lights
4. Fishing Hot Spots 5. Roads and Recreation 6. U. S. Topo
7. WorldMap
You can use the check boxes on the MapSource Info Page
to select which maps will display. Checking the box for a map
allows it to display. Removing the check prevents it from
drawing over a map you want to view. Refer to page 31 for
details.
Check the GARMIN website (www.garmin.com) or ask
your GARMIN dealer for MapSource product descriptions.
