1. Click on the download link below for the map you
want.
2. The "File Download" dialog box will appear.
Depending on the web browser you are using, click
Save or select "Save this file to disk,"
then click OK.
3. The "Save As" dialog box will appear. Save the map
to the maps folder for the emulator software, which is
C:\Program Files\Lowrance\Unit Demo\Maps0. Click
Save. When the download is complete, click
Close to close the File Download dialog box.
4. Now simply run the emulator and the custom map will
automatically be displayed. If the map is not
automatically displayed in the emulator, make sure that
the map is located in the "Maps0" folder of the emulator
software.
5. In the emulator, press any arrow key to launch the
cross-hair cursor. This will allow you to move around the
map by pressing an arrow key in the direction you wish to
go. You can also use the ZOUT and ZIN keys
to zoom out and zoom in on the map at the cursor location
or at your current position. To clear the cursor and
return to the factory "current" position, press
EXIT.
Running Your Own Maps in the Emulator
If you own MapCreate™, you can use your own
custom maps with the emulator program. POI and Exit
Services in maps that you create with MapCreate™
will display properly in the product emulators.
- Create a custom map and save it to your SD/MMC card
as you normally do.
- For MapCreate™ versions 4, 5, 6 and 6.2 (all
versions without data card encryption), browse to the
SD/MMC card and copy the map file you made to the
emulator's "Maps0" folder (default installation is
C:\Program Files\Lowrance\Unit Demo\Maps0). For
MapCreate™ versions 6.3 and 7 (the versions with
data card encryption), leave the custom map on the
SD/MMC card.
- Run the emulator software.
- Your map will be displayed automatically. Several
different custom maps can be used simultaneously in the
emulator.

These downloadable maps were created in MapCreate™
version 6, and therefore, do not contain the higher level
shoreline detail, enhanced lake maps, or topographic data
of the latest versions of MapCreate™. These maps
also have POIs and Exit Services removed. These maps are
intended only to give a small sample of the MapCreate
data for practice in using the Lowrance Product
Emulators.
