PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
SOLUTION
REF.
You have selected the View Map
mode rather than
Navigation
mode
The waypoints you are trying to delete have been inserted in
a route
You have selected a map reference with a different standard
from WGS-1984
Programming a route is not enough; you also have to active
it before using the route for navigation
To navigate using a route and select a next waypoint, you
must first program a route
It is possible to show all details or only those which you wish
to show (using the correct commands)
It is possible that the reference system or the design stan-
dard of the map is not the same as the one being used in
your MAP 600
You have reached the maximum capacity of the tracking
For PDA’s there are existing different standards for the lead
connections and communication protocols. Use RS-232
cable only for connections with COM port to PCs and
Notebooks. By using MapRoute, always pay attention to start
first the data communication at the GPS and thereafter the
transmission at the PC. The NMEA interface must be activa-
ted since the unit has to deliver the GPS data with NMEA
standard to another equipment.
By using MapRoute pay absolutely attention to start first the
data communication at the GPS and after that the transmis-
sion at the PC. When working with MapRoute, the NMEA
protocol may not be activated.

1984. Select it

Make sure that you selected the correct COM port and the
general NMEA protocol in the used software programs. On
newer Notebooks a COM port is missing sometimes. In that
case you need an USB lead instead of the RS-232 cable or
a seriell “9pin on USB” connection. Use only the associated
USB driver!
By using MapRoute, pay attention to the correct transmission direc-
tion! MapRoute 2.00. has symbols like PC->GPS and GPS->PC.
Leave the NMEA function switched off. The correct sequence is to be
observed, because with this procedure the used COM port number
is recognized automatically! A manual COM port selection is neither
necessary nor possible!
