STEP 3: Load Maps into the Mobile Computer
You can load maps into either the main memory of your mobile computer
or into a memory card. Please note that maps covering large areas can
require several megabytes of memory. Map Loader conveniently detects
and reports how much space is available. Depending on the amount of
available storage space, you can load maps for an entire region or just a
city.
