Transferring MapSource Map Data
If you have purchased a Garmin MapSource CD-ROM mapping
program you may want to transfer detailed map data before beginning
use, to provide your unit with maximum Find features and mapping
capability. The GPSmap 76CS accepts up to 115 MB of map data from
most MapSource products. It is not possible to transfer 3rd party maps
into Garmin products.
You cannot view multiple types of MapSource data in the same loca-
tion at the same time (one displays over the other). When you leave a
City Select area for example and enter the area of a topographic map, the
display will change to contour lines. The same is true when moving from
a topo map to a City Select map.
Maps that are at the top of the hierarchy display over any other map
information. Because new maps are constantly being released, consult
your Garmin Dealer or the Garmin website to determine the order of
hierarchy.
Map data transfer requires the use of a PC, a Garmin MapSource CD-
ROM, and the Universal Service Bus (USB) cable supplied with this unit.
When downloading new maps, those already downloaded are overwritten.
Include maps you want to retain by adding them to your new map down-
load. Follow instructions for map transfer in the MapSource User’s Manual.
It is also important to note, that certain features contained in the
GPSmap 76CS will not be enabled unless you are using mapping data
they are designed to support, such as many of the Find Features and
DEM Elevation Profi les. Visit the Garmin website for details on all of the
maps for use with the GPSmap 76CS.
