The next window in the Conversion Manager will ask you to insert

the SD card into the card reader or connect the eXplorist unit to the

PC. If you wish to transfer maps to the eXplorist, make sure it is

connected, turn it on, and set it to File Transfer mode.

When you're ready, click Next again in the Conversion Manager.

The PC will search for stored map files.

NOTE: MapSend programs store saved map files in this

location on the PC hard drive:

C:\Programs\Magellan\[Mapsend Product Name]\Export\Images\*.imi

Map files for eXplorist always have the .imi or .mgi file extension

plus the name you chose for the region when you defined the map

region. For example, if you made a region named "Rockies", the

saved map file will be Rockies.imi or Rockies.mgi depending on

the MapSend product you used.

Important note: files created from MapSend Worldwide Basemap

must have a .mgi extension to be compatible with eXplorist. If

you are using a version of MapSend Worldwide Basemap, that

produces .img files, check the Magellan website for the software

patch v.1.30 or higher that is needed to create .mgi files.

The Magellan Conversion

Manager searches for any

.imi or .mgi files in the

Programs\Magellan path on

your hard drive. It shows the

maps it found and any viable

storage media connected to

the PC on the next screen,
