Magellan Menu

Some Magellan models connect to the computer as a drive and the data is transferred to/from a file on the GPS. To open/save a file to/from the GPS on these models use the options below to display a dialog to locate the GPS (drive letter) and file.

Get Waypoints from GPS - Downloads the Waypoints (Landmarks) from the GPS and displays them on the map. The waypoints can then be manipulated and saved to a file for future use.

Get Track from GPS - Downloads the Track from the GPS and displays it on the map. The track can then be manipulated and saved to a file for future use. The downloaded track is always put into Track 1.

Get Routes from GPS - Downloads the Routes from the GPS and displays them on the map. The routes can then be manipulated and saved to a file for future use. The Waypoints (Landmarks) should have already been downloaded from the GPS (or loaded from a file) and be displayed on the map before downloading the routes. This option is not available for the Explorist USB models.

Send Waypoints to GPS - Uploads the Waypoints (Landmarks) loaded on the map to the GPS.

Send Track to GPS - Uploads the Track which is loaded into Track 1 to the GPS.

Send Routes to GPS - Uploads the Routes which are loaded to the GPS. The Waypoints (Landmarks) used in the Routes must be uploaded to the GPS first.

DataSend POI Manager - For working with the POI's available on the Magellan Datasend CD, see DataSend POI Manager help for details. This option is only available for the Magellan 315 and 320 GPS receivers.
