Upgrading from Xmap Editor 6.2

[macho999]

I'm currently considering upgrading from 6.2 Editor to 7 Editor but have a couple of questions.

How painful is the upgrade process? I have several GIS layers and draw files in 6.2. Do these just come right in to 7 or is there some lengthy process involved?

I'd also like to upgrade my topo data from 2008 to the newest version, how is this accomplished?

Will I still be able to send/recieve waypoints and put maps and gis layers on my pn-20 and pn-40? I'm wanting to get the PN-60 but retain functionality in the gps units I already own.

Thanks

Not sure about the first one. I'm assuming that database hasn't changed, so at MOST you would need to point the new install to your existing SQL Server Instance and database.

For the second, easy - simply point XMap towards your new Base Data directory. (The upgrade may do this automatically.) Of course, having never taken this route, I'm not sure. You may be forced to do a full uninstall of XMap 6 first, which would negate this issue altogether.

XMap 7 still works with PN-20 and -40, yes. Will with the PN-60 too, IF you put it into 'XMap mode' under Settings->Connect to Computer
