The MapSource window contains five main components: the toolbars, data tabs, splitter bar, graphic map, and status bar.

The map selection will then turn pink, and you can transfer that section to your Garmin GPS unit. This feature allows you to download only the information that you’ll need. If the map set is too big, you can deselect some regions or shrink theselected area to fit the memory of your Garmin GPS. The MapSource software makes it easy to customize your maps to fit your needs and your GPS unit’s capacity.
