different area of the country and need a different map, the map loader will let you change the maps on
your handheld device.
(!) Advisory - Make sure your handheld device's ActiveSync software is installed before you install the
Belkin Navigation System.
(!) Advisory - Make sure your handheld device is connected to your desktop (or laptop) and is turned on
