New Easy Mode Means Faster Maps. With unlimited maps
you get unlimited ease of operation and unlimited detail control.
In a hurry? MapCreate™ 6.2 offers a fast new easy mode we
call MapSelect™. Now it's as simple as "point, click and
save" to grab a predefined high-detail map and load it on your
GPS unit's flash memory card.
Manage GPS Data. MapCreate™ software lets you make
routes for your GPS to follow, and you can also mark places with
event icons or waypoints to navigate to. You can also import,
edit and archive routes, trails and waypoints created in the
field by your GPS unit. MapCreate™ can even exchange routes
and waypoints with other mapping programs.
It's In the Cards. MapCreate™ 6.2 software is
compatible with all Lowrance GPS units using ultra-small,
rewritable MultiMedia Card (MMC) or Secure Digital (SD) memory
cards. These postage stamp-sized memory cards are used for map
storage and transfer. Sizes range from 8 MB to 512 MB and are
available from several manufacturers.
Any Size, Any Shape. Need to manage map file size to fit
your MMC card? The MapCreate™ mapping software's advanced
mode lets you create custom maps to exacting proportions. With
its unique click and drag "cookie cutter" map border feature, you
can carve out detailed charts with specific map boundaries of
your choosing. You control the shape, you control the size. This
lets you fit as much map as possible on your memory cards,
especially important for longer journeys.
Map Detail Control. Care to control how much geographic
detail is included in your map? In addition to mapping just the
area you want, the MapCreate™ software also helps manage
file size by letting you turn off or on hundreds of display
features, such as railroads, rural roads, landmarks, etc.
Details, Details. MapCreate™ 6.2 includes the 48
contiguous U.S. states and Hawaii on two CDs. The
