Addendum I For

MapCreate

 USA 6.3 Topo

Thank you for buying the USA topo version of MapCreate. This adden-

dum describes features and functions that differ from the basic version

of MapCreate.
MapCreate Topo is ideal for aviation, backpacking and related outdoor

activities, but it was specially designed for hunters. Maps made with
MapCreate Topo will work in other Lowrance

 GPS units, but this pro-

gram was developed to complement the iFINDER

 HUNT

 hand-held

GPS receiver. MapCreate Topo is the first GPS mapping software to

offer such extensive boundary data for several types of public hunting

lands, game management units and related areas.

NOTE:

MapCreate Topo and its companion iFINDER HUNT GPS were in-

troduced in the summer of 2004, but their development is continu-
ing. More 

free

 features and enhancements are planned for release

as the fall hunting season approaches. 

We strongly recommend

you check the Lowrance web site, www.lowrance.com, for free

downloads of updated software and instruction manuals.

The high detail map data provided with this program is organized into

six regions. To install MapCreate, follow the instructions in the manual

but refer to the map on page 3 of this addendum to find out which re-

gion  is recorded on which CD.

Material covered in this addendum includes:

New Mapping Data

 

Topographic elevations, public hunting areas and game management

units are discussed along with other new data on page 3. 

Be sure to

read the map data disclaimer following the data descriptions.

Additional Symbols

 

New hunting-specific symbols make it easier to scout ahead of the

hunt and mark important spots. Described on page 4.

Searching

 

MapCreate Topo lets you search for POIs, land features and more,

just as you can in a Lowrance GPS unit. The details are on page 5.

Aviation Searching

 

Load a card containing a Jeppesen

 Aviation Database into the card
