Running Your Own Maps in the Emulator
If you own MapCreate™, you can use your own custom maps
with the emulator program. POI and Exit Services in maps that you
create with MapCreate™ will display properly in the product
emulators.
- Create a custom map and save it to your SD/MMC card as you
normally do.
- For MapCreate™ versions 4, 5, 6 and 6.2 (all versions
without data card encryption), browse to the SD/MMC card and
copy the map file you made to the emulator's "Maps0" folder
(default installation is C:\Program Files\Eagle
Electronics\Unit Demo\Maps0). For MapCreate™ versions 6.3
and 7 (the versions with data card encryption), leave the
custom map on the SD/MMC card.
- Run the emulator software.
- Your map will be displayed automatically. Several different
custom maps can be used simultaneously in the emulator.

Chicago area map
This is a great map for seeing the many different levels of
detail that can be stored in a MapCreate™ 6 map. For
example you can see low detail from Racine, WI to LaPorte, IN up
to a 100 miles zoom range. Then as you zoom in past the 20 mile
range you will begin to see the high detail mapping that reaches

zoom in to a 0.05 mile zoom range.
