How to copy map data sets to your hard
drive
You may find it useful to copy a collection
of maps if you’ve bought several titles
or if you don't want to change CD-ROMs each
time you navigate.. You can then work on two
map data sets at once and thus access a larger
number of map scales without continually having
to switch CD-ROMs.
Note
The data sets take up between 400 and 650
Mb on the CD-ROM. A CD-ROM may have several
thousand files that make up a map data set.
When copying the CD-ROM to your hard drive,
make sure you have enough disk space for the
transfer.
1.
Close SoftMap
2.
Delete the following directory : c:\program
files\common files\softmap shared\navig
3.
Create a directory on your hard drive
which will contain a copy of all your CD-ROM.
Example : C:\SoftMap Maps\Quebec topo50 vol
1
4.
Create a directory for each of your
CD-ROM in the directory you created on step
3
Examples :
C:\Cartes SoftMap\Quebec topo50 vol 1\Disk
1
C:\Cartes SoftMap\Quebec topo50 vol 1\Disk
2
C:\Cartes SoftMap\Quebec topo50 vol 1\Disk

5.
Copy all the files and directories
from a CD-ROM in the corresponding directory
on your hard disk.
6.
Repeat step 5 for each of your CD-ROM
7.
Start
SoftMap
8.
You must now install the index for
each of your CD-ROM copied on your hard disk.
For each directory containing a copy of a
CD-ROM, click on the Install Data Set tool  and select the “install.inf” file.
Each directory has each own “install.inf”
file. |
