Copying your Map Folder to your LaptopĬopy the TopoGrafix Image Files folder to your laptop computer, making note of the location where you’ve copied it to.

Using Windows File Explorer, or the Show Program Data Folder command, locate the TopoGrafix Image Files folder on your desktop computer. To find out, click Preferences on the Edit menu, and click the Map Folder tab. If you are a long-time ExpertGPS user, your map folder may be located at C: or C:Program FilesExpertGPS. You can get to this folder by clicking Show Program Data Folder on the Help menu in ExpertGPS. Newer versions of ExpertGPS store this folder in what Windows calls your Local AppData Folder, which is (unfortunately) a hidden folder by default. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how you can copy your entire map folder from your desktop computer to your laptop, so you can use all of your topo maps and aerial photos when you’re out in the field.ĮxpertGPS stores the topo maps and aerial photos that it automatically downloads from the Internet on your hard drive, in a folder called TopoGrafix Image Files. The Tracking feature in ExpertGPS allows you to use your laptop, along with a GPS receiver or GPS “mouse” antenna, to create a moving map display in your vehicle. Many ExpertGPS users own more than one computer, and your ExpertGPS license allows you to install and use ExpertGPS on multiple computers.
