wMap GPS Software
Introduction
Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a Whistler GPS receiver and the wMap mapping software.
This system can provide an auto route to the destination of your choice using signals from Glo al
Positioning Satellites (GPS) or iting the earth.
There are 24 GPS satellites or iting the earth. A GPS device can calculate your position on the
earth if it can receive signals from at least three of these satellites. When it receives at least four
signals, a GPS device can also calculate your altitude (height a ove sea level).
To use the GPS receiver for the first time you need to charge the attery and install the map data
onto the Secure Digital/Multi-Media Card (SD/MMC). N TE: Some models may have the maps
preloaded on the SD/MMC card so map loading is not necessary. If the GPS receiver offers other
countries, these country maps will e on the included CD/DVD. Simply copy the country maps to
an appropriately sized SD/MMC card and insert the card into the GPS receiver. See page 23 for
loading instructions.
Important! If the GPS receiver’s maps are preloaded on a SD/MMC card, please make a ackup
copy of the card to the PC. If the card is reformatted, erased or lost, a new copy of the map files
can e placed onto a new SD/MMC card y using the ackup copy. If a ackup is not performed
and replacement maps are needed, a replacement fee will e charged.
See the unit’s hardware manual for detailed instructions for attery loading and charging
information as well as important hardware and software restrictions and precautions. All other
hardware questions and operation of other non GPS mapping programs are listed in the hardware
manual.
