Connecting the Cable to your PC
Disconnect power from your personal computer and connect the other end of the data cable
with the DIN-9 connector to an available COM-port. Remember which port you are using as
you will need this information for a successful transfer of map data to the GPS Unit.
The 9-pin connector is configured:
Pin 2: Data Out
Pin 3: Data In
Pin 5: Ground
SD Card Programmer vs. COM-port
If your GPS Unit is one of the Meridian series, it’s better to use the SD Card Programmer
installed on your PC in order to quickly upload large size maps (up to 64 MB). Plug an SD
card into the programmer and, when uploading maps, choose it rather than COM-port as the
destination of the map upload.
