Load eXplorist XL map in 610
Posted: Sat Nov 10, 2018 2:38 pm
I had an eXplorist XL with several Topo maps bought on SD cards from Magellan.
The XL is broken so a bougth an eXplorist 610.
I now have problems to use my expensive and nice Topo-maps from Magellan in my eXplorist 610.
As the 610 takes microSD it is not possible to put my maps on SD in the 610 as you understand.
When I try to load my maps with VantagePoint in to the 610 I got an error message which says "Map not authorized for this GPS-receiver".
In some way the .imi file is marked with which gps receiver it has been uploaded from.
You can´t load maps on SD cards from memory card readers into Vantage Point you must load from a connected gps receiver.
All this for protect the maps for illegal copying
Is there any way to get my old Magellan maps into my eXplorist 610 receiver?
Would an adapter cable as the picture and doing as follows be a solution?
1. Connect the SD card with the the adapter cable to my eXplorist 610
2. Upload the map to VintagePoint.
3. Disconnect the adapter cable and insert a microSD card in the 610.
4. Download the uploaded map with VantagePoint to the eXlorist 610 receiver.
Grateful for any help.
