2. Copying Maps and Installing MapFinder
2.1 Get Connected and Using MapFinder
Microsoft ActiveSync
1) Make sure EZ Road is connected to
your PC through Microsoft ActiveSync.
MapFinder is opened from your Start
Menu. (Usually found in Programs)
When first starting MapFinder select
“Pharos EZ Road”
MapFinder helps you to determine
which maps you need, select the map
or maps you wish to use, and copy the
maps to your PC or storage card. You
can also browse map data and
features.
*Have your map CDs ready, as you
may need to insert them in your CD-
rom drive during installation or
copying.
2.2 Selecting Maps
There are two methods used to select a map(s) you want to use.
1.
Searching
A) Enter a
city name
or
zip code
and
click “Search”
Note:
A zip code is the most precise
way to search. Areas on the edge of
maps may need more than one map
to travel efficiently.
