is the difference between an update and an upgrade
The Updates
They are free and no limit of time is fixed in advance.
Cartopro is constantly updated with many improvements
but also simply when removing a bugs.
The
Upgrade
If the programm
is completely reorganized and profoundly modified to be more suitable
with current needed then its name will change.
It was the case in April 2005 when "Cartopro"
was upgraded to "Cartopro
Evolution"
Upgrade have to be paid, but the hold version remaind
fonctional ...
After
several hours, tracking mode stops and you have to restart Cartopro
This is due to the version 2.1 of the Garmin USB drivers. You have to
update your drivers to the version 2.21 or more
Cartopro install the version 2.21 by default from the 13.06.2007, except
if a driver is already installed
To verify the version of your drivers,
start an connect your GPS then click on
Start, Control panel, System, Device, Device Manager, GARMIN Device, Garmin
USB GPS, and then click on Drivers
The version of your drivers is noted as above
To update your version click on:
"Start, Programs, Cartopro Evolution, Drivers,
Garmin USB Drivers"
Follow instruction of the garmin installer
Keep attention, you will need to plug your GPS when
the installer will ask for ...

If running on a Windows 95 PC which does not support
USB you may receive this message at startup:
You may ignore this message but you have to uncheck
"Garmin USB"
in the options of Cartopro.
If Cartopro Evolution does not start at all, you
can download and install this patch to get a version without USB fonctionality.

installed.

Waypoint
names are unfinished or are filled with strange characters
Position of name

In CartoGps.ini file, you can adjust that by correcting the number near
NamePos under the category that define your GPS.

I
can not (drag & drop) coordinates from Stretch window to other
windows
On each window you will
find a blue header defining the type of coordinate you are reading.
You have to click on this header to drag & drop coordinates from
a window to another.
Stretch is read only, you can not drop coordinates in to it.
Can
I calibrate Maps from every coordinates systems?
Yes, but you will need to find a tool to convert
them in degree. See if your GPS already do it, otherwise you will
need a software that convert your coordinates.
You will find some tools on Internet.
Do
not forget that you will need to know the right datum corresponding
to your coordinates before conversion.
Can
I transfer maps into my Garmin GPS?
No, Cartopro do not transfer
maps but only Routes, Tracks and Waypoints.
However, you can print your maps with track
on top by yusing your printer.
Printing can be very useful if you also add a grid like U.T.M. WGS84
on.
The grid will allow you to easilly find your position by reading your
GPS on site.
How
can I print a map with U.T.M. grid on A3 paper format ?
Select
the unit you want on Stretch window. Next you have to display grid by
menu: => Grid => Displaying
After
that, click on menu => File => Print. A window will appear on
which you can click the Prt Setup button.
Set your printer on A3 paper size. Finally, move the colored frame at
the position you want to print then clik on Print
button.
If nothing is printed, see here
Can
I update my notebook even if it is not connected to the web?
Yes
you have to download
the file CartoproSetup.exe by
this link
Double
click on the downloaded file CartoproSetup.exe
to replace the old version by the new one.
You will not need to reenter your licence after
the update.
