Magellan 500 Mapsend Problems

[+Riggtown53]

I recently purchased an explorist 500 and I cannot figure out the mapsend cd that came with this unit. It will not do anything when i put it in my computer. Nor can i figure out the geocaching part of it either. When i download it to the unit i can't find it anywhere. This is my first gps unit and i have no idea what i am doing. I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure this thing out...please help???? Thanks

go to "my computer", then into the cddrive the cd is in. and double click on the .exe name ending file. or if the cd rom in "my computer" has a picture on it right click it and choose install.

 

try that for now.
