area of interest in your computer's DVD drive and

follow the on-screen instructions to easily copy the

maps you want onto your device.

Note Once you install the detailed data on your

device, you are ready to use your PN-Series GPS. The

offers additional functionality best explored once you

have loaded maps from the detailed DVDs and spent

some time investigating your PN-Series GPS.
