Map Loader
Your WayPoint
tm
unit comes with 128 megabytes of Flash Disk space for maps. While this will
not hold the entire United States, it will hold one region and perhaps the long haul maps. The
long haul maps contain major road maps of the entire USA. The next figure shows the
approximate boundaries of the regions. Note that region R is Canada. For detailed data see
“Region Coverage” on page 80.
The WayPoint Map Loader is a program that comes with your WayPoint PDA. It manages the
map regions that are used by the navigation software and facilitates map purchases. The
WayPoint Map Loader provides the following functions:
• Manage maps on either the built-in Flash Disk or a user supplied SD card.
• Identify which regions are owned by the user and available to be loaded on the unit.
• Show which regions are already loaded on the unit.
• Unload or reload any region as needed by the user. The source maps can be on a card or
they can be retrieved from the Internet.
