Uploading a Vector Background Map
Vector background maps are generated from DXF, SHP or MIF
files imported in MobileMapper Office’s Map Editor.
Note that raster background maps CANNOT be uploaded to
ProMark3 in its current version.
It is all or part of the background map attached to MobileMap-
per Office’s Map Display area that can be uploaded.
The background map is output as an IMI file. The IMI file can
be directly uploaded to the ProMark3, or copied to the SD
card inserted in the local SD card reader, or stored on the PC
hard disk. In all cases, a connection to the ProMark3 is a pre
-
requisite to the upload sequence.

the USB or RS232 cable, it has been turned on, you have dou-
ble-tapped the Mobile Mapping icon and you have selected the
storage medium on which to upload the map, d
o the following

list and then click the Attach Map button.

release the mouse button.
