MapCreate™ USA Topo 6.3 Software

Simpler Interface. A new, simpler interface means no more saving a map border file before creating a map, and a new menu and toolbar layout to help you find what you're looking for more quickly. You'll also notice pop-up information boxes for POIs, land features and interstate highway exits, along with Exit pop-up boxes that list nearby exit services.

New Mapping Data. Topographic elevations, public hunting areas and game management units are included in the new MapCreate™ USA Topo 6.3 software.

Additional Symbols. New hunting-specific symbols make it easier to scout ahead of the hunt and mark important spots, including ATVs, turkeys, food plots, buck rubs, and more.

Searching. MapCreate™ USA Topo lets you search for POIs, land features and more, just as you can in an Eagle GPS unit.

Aviation Searching. Load a card containing a Jeppesen® Aviation Database into the card reader and MapCreate™ USA Topo lets you search for items such as airports and VORs.

Display Fishing Hot Spots®. Load a card containing an IMS Fishing Hot Spots® fishing map into the card reader and MapCreate™ USA Topo shows fishing details on your computer screen. This makes it easier to plan trips and manage GPS data with Fishing Hot Spots® maps.

Find Nearest Waypoint or Nearest Highway Exit. It's easier to find these items with the new right-click shortcut.

Map Category Options Toolbar. A drop-down menu lets you select pre-set or customizable category settings for different types of activities, including aviation, boating, driving, hiking, and hunting.

Routing. MapCreate™ USA Topo lets you accurately add POIs, land features and aviation navaids to routes with a click of the mouse.

Dynamic Pan Arrows. The permanent pan arrows that were located along the sides of the Master Map window have been replaced with pop-up pan arrows that appear when you move the mouse pointer near the edge of the map. You can even pan diagonally.

Pop-up Boxes. Pop-up information boxes for POIs, land features and interstate highway exits now include elevations. Exit pop-up boxes also list nearby exit services.

The MapCreate™ USA Topo 6.3 software is compatible with Eagle mapping GPS+WAAS products with digital media memory card (MMC/SD) capability. A variety of accessory pack options are available with the CD-ROM software, including an LEI MMC/SD card reader/writer, one digital media card, and with or without a 12-parallel channel GPS+WAAS satellite receiver/antenna.

Note: For security purposes, MapCreate™ USA Topo 6.3 encodes maps to memory cards, and will restrict the encoding process to a maximum of five different memory cards. You can create as many maps as you like, but they will only work on the first five memory cards that you register with the MapCreate™ USA Topo 6.3 software.
