About...
The About... screen displays the current status of your Mo-
bileMapper Pro. Using the About... screen you can see the se-
rial number of the receiver, the version of software, the version
and memory size of the base map, the number of detailed
maps you may have installed and their total memory, and how
much free memory is available.
Using the Serial Cable
The serial cable is used in two different cases:
-
When you want to connect MobileMapper Pro to the PC to
upload/download data using MobileMapper Office.
-
When you want to connect MobileMapper Pro to an exter-
nal source of differential corrections.
The serial cable can be connected to MobileMapper Pro in two
different ways:
-
Direct connection to MobileMapper Pro: Using the attach-
ment screw that is attached to the plug, tighten into the
back of the receiver.
-
MobileMapper Pro mounted to a vehicle mounting
bracket: Place the receiver in the cradle, bottom end first.
Snap MobileMapper Pro down until the release latch locks
it in place. Attach the cable through the opening in the
back of the mounting cradle. It is not necessary to tighten
the attachment screw to the receiver, although you may do
so for added security.
If your computer does not support serial communications, you
will need to:
-
Purchase a serial-to-USB converter to go between the
serial cable and your PC
-
Purchase an SD card reader with USB port (see next
page).
