• In a hurry? You can erase a route by deleting each waypoint, one

after the other. Click the

ENTER

ASTER

button, then move the

cross-hair pointer over a route waypoint and right-click. In the pop-

up menu, click the

ELETE

AYPOINT

command. MapCreate erases the

waypoint and the magenta line linking the waypoint to the route.

Now that you've created all the GPS information you want, you need to

prepare it for use in your GPS unit. We'll do that in the next lesson,

"Saving a GPS Data File."

Saving a GPS Data File

GPS Data Files can contain any combination of GPS information,

including waypoints, event marker icons, routes and trails. MapCreate

and your GPS unit store all their GPS data in the same file format, so

it's easy to move this information back and forth. Here's how: (Refer as

needed to the Toolbar figure on page 30.)

1. Click the

AVE

GPS D

ATA

ILE

button. The Save As dialog box

appears.

Save GPS Data File dialog box.

2. Type a name in the File Name text box, select your card reader's

drive letter in the

AVE

text box, and click

AVE

Congratulations, you've made your first GPS Data File! The file

was placed directly on your MMC or Secure Digital card. If you wish to

keep the file on your hard drive, use Windows Explorer and your MMC

card reader to copy the GPS Data File to the "data" sub-folder located

within the MapCreate folder on your hard drive. You can now start

another GPS Data File (click

GPS

ATA

ILE

button) or you can close
