Purpose

To install and license the Memory Map Topo product to your computer and to the SD card of your Hema Navigator. It will also be likely that you will need to purchase a larger SD card, as the extra content takes up a significant amount of storage space. We recommend that if you are going to purchase a larger card, you opt for a 16Gb card.

  1. Install Memory-Map software and map products from DVD to PC
  2. Remove SD card from Navigator and put into SD card reader attached to PC
  3. Copy maps from DVD product installed on PC to Navigator SD card
  4. Replace SD card in Navigator
  5. Start Memory-Map [Topo mode] on Navigator (Newly copied maps are still encrypted, but license entries are created)
  6. Remove SD card from Navigator and put into SD card reader attached to PC
  7. In Memory-Map PC software use license function to activate licenses for purchased product
  8. Replace SD card in Navigator
  9. Refresh Map list
  10. Enjoy your new maps!

Detailed Process

DVD Installer menu

Put the DVD in your Computer disk drive. The DVD should autorun and display the install banner, as shown above.

If the DVD does not autorun, turn autorun ON or run the Setup program directly from the DVD

Click the Install SOFTWARE & Maps button on the installer main menu

Memory-Map Setup window

Click the Next button and follow the prompts to install the program on your PC.

Run CD window

Once the program is installed you will be prompted to install the map files onto the hard drive of your PC. Accept the recommended computer install and click the OK button

Memory-Map desktop icon

The maps will be installed to the C:\Maps folder on your computer and a Memory-Map shortcut icon will be placed on your desktop.


Transferring SD card files from original SD card to new SD card

This part of the process shows how to copy your original Navigator SD card content to a new card, if you are going to use a new (larger) SD card.

Create a folder on your desktop and name it Navigator SD Card.

Remove the SD card from the HEMA Navigator and put it in an SDHC compatible card reader connected to a USB port on your computer.

NOTE

An inbuilt card reader can be used if your PC has one, but it must be SDHC compatible. Many laptops have this feature, but some are NOT SDHC capable.

View the files on the SD card.

If this option does not auto display, click on Start > My Computer (or Computer for Windows 7) then click on the drive letter that the card reader is attached to.

Copy Maps

Press <Ctrl + A> to select all contents of the SD card folder. Right click over the selected files and click Copy from the pop-up menu.

Paste Copied Maps

Locate the newly created Navigator SD Card folder on the desktop. Right click on the Navigator SD Card folder and select Paste from the pop-up menu.

The contents of the original SD card will be copied to the Navigator SD Card folder on your desktop.

When the copying process is complete, remove the SD card from the card reader (and keep it in a safe place as a backup).

Deleting Memory-Map license info from SD card content

Open the Navigator SD Card folder located on the desktop and delete the following two files and one folder (as highlighted above):

  • maplist.mmo (file)
  • Memory-Map-License (folder)
  • serialnum.mmcid (file)

WARNING!

serialnum.mmcid is normally a hidden file and may not be visible.
To view hidden files open Windows Explorer, select Tools > Folder Options > View and enable the Show hidden files and folders option.

NOTE

We are deleting the Memory-Map license information at this point, as it will be recreated (along with new content) later in the process.

Copying original SD Card content

Press <Ctrl + A> to select all contents in the Navigator SD Card folder which you created on the Desktop earlier, right click over the highlighted area and click Copy from the pop-up menu.

Place the new larger capacity SD card in the card reader and locate its drive letter. Right click on the SD card drive and select the Paste option from the pop-up menu.

The contents of the Navigator SD Card folder will be copied to the new SD card as shown below.

Copied content on new SD card

On the SD card, double click on the Memory-Map folder.

Create a new folder.

The new folder should be named according to the Memory Map product being installed (in our example here, we are creating a folder called "Vic_Topo" as that is the product we are installing).

Creating a new folder on the SD card

Locate the C:\Maps folder on your PC and right click on the required Topo map folder.

i.e. for Victorian Topo right-click on Vic_Topo

Copy and then Paste this folder to the newly created Vic_Topo folder on the SD card.

Copying new content

Repeat the previous step and copy the Aus_Streets folder from the PC to the SD card Vic_Topo folder. (The names might be different here depending on the particular product you have).

The contents of the Memory-Map\Vic_Topo folder on the SD card should now be as shown below:

New folders on SD card

At this point, remove the SD card from the reader on your PC.


Rebuilding Memory-map license configuration

Put the SD card back into the Navigator, and start the Memory-Map [Topo mode] program from the main menu on your Navigator.

Mode button

Once Memory-Map is running, select Planning Mode by tapping the Mode button (shown above).

Tools button

In Planning mode, tap the Tools button (shown above), then tap the Map option.

Refreshing the map list

On the Select Map window, tap the Refresh button.

By doing this, you are asking Memory-Map to re-read all the maps it can find (including your newly copied Vic_Topo content), and re-generate the licensing information for all the content.

Exit from Memory-Map back to the main menu on the Navigator.

Remove the SD card from the Navigator and place in the PC card reader.


Activating the product license on the SD card

NOTE

To avoid licensing errors, before doing this step, ensure that the Navigator is not connected to the PC via the USB cable.

NOTE

If the map is pixelated when loaded or a licensing error message is displayed, the SD card has not been successfully licensed and will require licensing as detailed earlier in this document. 


Troubleshooting

Q. Why are the maps displayed with a very pixelated image?

A. The map is still encrypted and is not licensed to the SD card or device. It will be necessary redo the following steps:

  1. Delete the maplist.mmo file, Memory-Map-License folder, and the serialnum.mmcid file from the SD card using your PC SD card reader
  2. Insert the SD card in the Navigator and run Memory-Map
  3. Put the card back in the card reader and re license the SD card as detailed in this article

Q. A License manager error shows “License for my totpo resource has not been activated, and/or that “Encrypted content is not available”

A. The map is still encrypted and is not licensed to the SD card or device. Follow steps 1 to 3 as above.

Q. Can I copy the Topo map product maps to another SD Card?

A. Yes, but it will be necessary to activate the new card using your second license (remember the DVD products discussed here allow for 2 X PC licenses, and 2X SD card licenses) to migrate the license from the old card to the new card.

This is accessed from the Memory-Map PC program.  Click Help - License Management - Sign In  - Online Info - Migrate License

Q. I have used all of my license activations, but I still can't view maps. Can I access any more license codes?

A. Please contact Memory Map Support from the Contact section of  the Memory Map web site:
