Sportrak Pro and maps4me

[+tripman1]

I have a Sportrak Pro and wondered if anyone has success with installing maps4me.

 

For example, did you have to convert the map at all, did you use Mapsend, Mapsend Lite (Lite didn’t work for me), MagUP, HyperTerminal to upload it.

 

I tried the Yellowstone maps4me map but no luck.

Hi,

 

the map data format has changed. The Sportrak and the older eXplorist models need the *.img format, which is not available on Maps4me.net. (appart from the topo hispania, which is available in both formats)

 

Newer Magellan models (Triton, eXplorist, Crossover) use the *.imi format, which is the standard format at Maps4me.net.

Thanks for the info, the Maps4Me wesbsite still states:

 

"----Map Download

You will find maps for download for the Magellan eXplorist, Crossover and Triton in the following formats:

 

* *.img maps for Sportrack and Magellan Meridian

* *.imi maps for eXplorist, Crossover and Triton

* *.rmp rastermaps for the Triton series. (from Triton 400 on, as the maps are to big for the internal memory and only make sense for units with SD support. Only Magellan Triton 400, Triton 500, Triton 1500 and 2000 have SD support an can handle large raster maps (>20MB)---"

 

Keeps me from looking for the .img maps.
