Map Utilities.
You can use this feature to select the basic map or the detailed map
that you want to use. You can also use Map Utilities to delete a map, other than the
basic map, from memory.
What is the difference between a basic map and a detail map?
The basic map
(or basemap) is the map that came built in to your SporTrak Color when you
purchased it. It has basic street detail and some Points of Interest, which is
enough information for simple navigating in towns and major roadways. Basic
maps cover a large land area, have limited detailed information and use up a
small amount of memory.
Detail maps are maps you can upload using any of the Magellan software options
through the MapSend or MapSend BlueNav series of software applications.
These maps have an enormous amount of detail down to the street level and a
vast selection of POIs that can be displayed on your Map screen. Detail maps are
limited in size to the amount of free memory in your receiver, have a lot of de-
tailed information and can use up a substantial amount of memory.
Are there other basic maps available?
Yes. If you have the Magellan MapSend
WorldWide Basemap CD-ROM, you can select any area on the globe and upload
it to your SporTrak Color receiver.
Selecting a Basemap or a Detail Map
1) From any screen, press the Menu key. Use the up or down arrows to
highlight “Map Utilities” and press the Enter key.
2) With “Change Map” highlighted, press the Enter key.
3) Use the up or down arrows to highlight the field,
“Basemap” or “Detail Map”, that you want to se-
lect and press the Enter key.
4) A list of available maps is displayed. (Also, if you
have selected “Detail Map”, you have the option
of turning it off altogether.) Use the up or down
arrows to highlight your choice and press the En-
ter key. (The Save button displayed at the bottom
of these screens is presently non-operational.)
5) When you have made your selection of the Basemap and Detail map
you want displayed, use the up or down arrows to highlight the
“Save” button and press the Enter key. A pop-up will briefly be dis-
played indicating that the maps are being loaded and you will then
return to the screen you were viewing when you first accessed the
Map Utilities function.
