Note: An update is available for this version of MapCreate - If you have trouble cutting out Alaska mapping data and/or railroads, please download the MapCreate 7 Update.

Note: For security purposes, MapCreate™ 7 encodes maps to memory cards, and will restrict the encoding process to a maximum of five different memory cards. You can create as many maps as you like, but they will only work on the first five memory cards that you register with the MapCreate™ 7 software.

Note: You must use an LEI branded memory card reader/writer for MapCreate™ 7 to work properly.

Note: If you are experiencing problems connecting to a network or the internet after installing MapCreate 7 on a computer running Windows 98SE, please read this solution document.

Note: If MapCreate 7 freezes upon execution on a computer running Windows XP with Service Pack 2, please read this solution document for a temporary work-around.
