6 Installing Maps
Your GPS unit can store up to 100MB of maps in its internal
memory and can also store maps on removable external (MMC or
SD) memory cards. The storage location you select will depend on
your individual needs. For most users, the GPS internal 100MB
memory will hold the maps you will need. If you expect to travel
extensively, for flexibility we recommend you store the maps you
will need on external memory cards.
You may download maps directly to an external memory card or for
convenience, you may order pre-loaded memory cards containing
the maps you require by calling 1-800-261-4555.
6.1 Selecting Maps
To start the map selection process click on the MapFinder Icon on
your PC desktop. The following screen will be displayed:
