To load a MapCreate route into Atlas, follow instructions in MapCreate's
manual for creating a route and saving it as part of a GPS Data File (file format
*.usr). Copy the GPS Data File to an MMC and insert the MMC in Atlas. (See
Section 2 for instructions on installing MMCs. To load the GPS Data File into
Atlas memory, see the entry on Transferring GPS Data Files between Atlas and
a Computer in this section.)
