If you are removing a region that had missing files the amount of free space shown on the pie

chart may be wrong since it is based on the known region size, not the actual files loaded size. It

is always correct when you first enter one of the Build Map screens.

Using “Choose Map” in the WayPoint software

While the maps are now loaded onto your WayPoint

unit they

may or may not be loaded in the WayPoint navigation program.

If you removed your existing maps and loaded a full set of new

maps the WayPoint application may start by showing you the

Choose Map page since you will have no maps loaded that it

knows about. Otherwise it will simply load the old maps it used

the last time it ran and the new ones will not be seen. To select

the new maps use the Choose Map command from the Tools

menu.

It may take a little time for this screen to appear as it will need to

search for the files. The top entry is a pull down list. It can be set

to use maps only from a particular directory or from all

directories on the WayPoint unit that contain maps. The

Selection choice on the command bar will let you unselect all maps and controls the ability to

select multiple maps. You will usually want more than one map displayed. You can tap as many

maps as you wish and then tap ok.

If you have one or two regions loaded you may just want to display all of the maps. Use the

Choose Map command and then highlight one or more maps. Tap the box beside “Also open

all Contiguous maps” and tap ok. This will cause the WayPoint software to select every map that

is adjacent to another map. This can select quite a few maps. If major road maps are selected in

this process it will try and load every map in the entire United States that you have on your unit

which could take several minutes just to load. If there are too many maps you may run out of

memory resources to load them all.

There may be times when you would prefer to not load them all. A few reasons include

improved load times, improved route times, less system resources needed, and improved search

times. This section will tell you how to work with the minimum amount of maps. You can

restrict this behavior by not using the contiguous map check box or by limiting the search to one

directory using the pull down at the top of the screen to select the directory you wish to use. You

can also just load the Long Haul (major road) maps and select the detailed map you wish to load

graphically. This is particularly useful when you are not familiar with the county names you may

wish to load. See the section later on how to graphically select the maps.

Choose Maps

As mentioned you can select specific directories that contain maps. This can be done using the

drop down menu at the top of the screen. If you choose a new directory any selected files from

the old directory will be remembered. This feature allows you to have maps from multiple

directories loaded without having to select all folders. To start over with map selection you
