MMC or SDC Memory Card Installation
Your AirMap uses a MultiMedia Card to store information, such as cus-
tom maps, waypoints and other GPS data. The unit can also use Secure
Digital Cards (SD card or SDC) to store information.
NOTE:
Throughout this manual, we will use the term MMC, but just re-
member that your unit can use an MMC
or
SDC to store data.
Both of these solid-state flash memory devices are about the size of a
postage stamp. An SD card is slightly thicker than an MMC. As this
manual went to press, MMCs were available in storage capacities of 8
MB, 16 MB, 32 MB and 64 MB. SD cards were available in capacities of
8 MB, 16 MB, 32 MB, 64 MB, 128 MB and 256 MB.
Additional MMC cards are available from LEI Extras; see ordering in-
formation inside the back cover of this manual. MMCs and SD cards
are also available at many consumer electronics stores.
The MMC slot is located in the battery compartment, behind the bat-
teries on the right side of the unit. The battery compartment decal
points out the slot, which is also marked by small white letters on the
circuit board.
To remove an MMC
1. Remove battery compartment cover.
2. Remove batteries, if present.
