using a PC and interface cable. If you have already purchased
MapSource and a data card, you will want to install the data card

Map Data Transfer
After you have installed a data card in the eMap, it must be
loaded with map data from a MapSource CD-ROM. In order to
transfer map data you will need to install MapSource on your
PC and connect the eMap PC Interface Cable to your PC and the
eMap unit.
Instructions for using MapSource are provided with the
CD-ROM. Instructions for transferring map data are
contained in the Reference section of the same manual
under the title “Transferring Data”.
To make the Interface Cable connection:
1. Connect the RS232 Serial Port Connector portion of
the Interface Cable to the serial port on your PC.
2. Slide the eMap Connector into the Data Connection
at the base of the eMap. The connector is indexed
to fit only one way. (See the illustration to the left)
