Load eXplorist XL map in 610

Post by tofose »

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.

I don't think, that this will work. The serial ID is bound to the SDcard. So the map will only work with the original card. If you transfer the map, the copy protection is looking for a SDcard serial. And this will be the wrong one.
The only way to use the map, is to crack the copy protection.
The better way is to usw free maps from maps4me.net.
There is a charge for download access in the site, but you can download in the payed time as much maps as you want.
Just have a look...

Thank you for your reply.

maps4me maps are not good enougth the maps has very few details.
I think I will buy an working eXplorist XL instead.

Magellan support told me that they would be happy to help me.
That was a couple of days ago and have not been heard since :(
