+Bozz Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 My friend is having trouble using this combination, any suggestions would be appreciated: 1. Magellan Meridian Marine 2. Magellan DirectRoute Software 3. 128MB SD Card Problem is, he is trying to learn DirectRoute and save maps onto the card, then utilize them. He is writing the data to the card from Directroute, using a built-in slot on his computer. Problem is: He writes to the card, can see it on the computer, but the GPS won't see the map once he plugs it in. He has formatted the card in both the computer, and then in the GPS unit. Possible things he is doing wrong? BTW, I am providing phone help for him, I haven't physically went to his house to help him out yet. I have Garmin products, and only know them. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. Bozz Quote Link to comment
robertlipe Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 He needs to use card utilities (it's near the bottom of his menus) to set the active map. Reading through the Magellorama below may offer lots of good tips for his journey into Magellansville... Quote Link to comment
+Bozz Posted January 4, 2005 Author Share Posted January 4, 2005 Thanks, after speaking with him it is unclear whether he selected a reasonable region to use. So, I forwarded your info to him so he could keep trying it. Thanks, Bozz Quote Link to comment
+Z_Statman Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Also, the card can only read 1 map at a time and if you upload a new map it will over write the previous unless you have changed it name. IMHO, you will like the unit but it does settle in slower that other units so be patient as you approach your target. Note, mine is the Color. I have loaded both the route & topo maps.
