Product Description
MapSend WorldWide Basemap software enables you to create a basemap for any region of the world and upload it to your mapping Magellan GPS receiver. Adding WorldWide basemaps to your Magellan GPS receiver does not erase your built-in basemap -- it enables you to add basic reference map coverage for areas not covered by the built-in map. New basemaps can be loaded and saved via a PC to GPS cable from your PC to your Magellan Meridian series handheld (requires an optional Secure Digital (SD) memory card), directly to the SD card using a card reader/writer, or directly to the memory of your Magellan SporTrak Pro, SporTrak Pro Marine, SporTrak Map, SporTrak Color or MAP 330 GPS receiver. WorldWide Basemap is licensed for use with a single Magellan GPS. Each basemap region you define contains the essential basic map features such as cities, highways, waterways, railroads, national boundaries and shorelines. WorldWide Basemap also includes basic topography contours, which can help you stay oriented to your environment and find Points of Interest. In addition to the visual map presentation, the map features can be located using tabular search functions v on the GPS as well as in the PC application. Easily toggle between the built-in basemap and your new WorldWide Basemap. Your Magellan GPS receiver will automatically transition to a detailed map when the zoom scale is 0.4 miles or less and the majority of the displayed is covered by the map. For use with your Magellan Meridian series, SporTrak Map, SporTrak Pro, SporTrak Pro Marine or MAP 330 GPS receiver.

Really Disappointing.......2007-11-29
I purchased this software for use with my MAP330.
I've used the trusty MAP330 from Arizona to Alaska to Florida and it's been a great traveling companion.
I have a vacation planned to the Caribbean, so I thought I'd load it up with some maps of the area.
Initially the WWBM software wouldn't load on my XP machine, and gave ERROR-15 Can't Load Drivers. I finally shut down every other running program including my anti-virus and it finally got past the error. Fair enough...the instructions do say to close all programs.
Next the program couldn't find the CD even though it was in the drive. I rebooted, and the software now sees the CD and comes up. The first thing it says is that I need version 4 of the firmware in my GPS.
I have version 2.
Ok, so I go to the Magellan site, and look under their support section for discontinued models...and there were no updates available. Nice.
I finally ended up at the yahoo M330 group (those folks are great!) and found advise and files to upgrade to version 4.
So I plugged in my newly updated GPS and fired up the program. It came up and detected my M330, so right away I zoomed my windows screen in on the island of St. Maarten and found myself staring at a beige outline of the island with absolutely NO detail.
No roads. No cities. No topo info.
Just so I'd at least have an outline of the island in the GPS, I ran the upload process. It immediately failed and told me I have an incorrect version of the software.
I gave up at this point.
I'm very annoyed with Magellan for creating this sub standard un-friendly product. In spite of the very dependable M330 unit, I think I will look to a company with better software support for the next GPS.
Very unprecise, but better than nothing.......2006-03-29
I bought MapSend Worldwide Basemap to use on my Magellan Map 330 on a trip to Israel. It's an old model of Magellan GPS, and doesn't allow downloading anything but Magellan maps. Unfortunately, Magellan never made a detailed map for Israel, so I thought I'd make do with the base map.
The software works very similarly to MapSend Streets that I got with the GPS, though the interface seems a bit improved. Unfortunately, it only allows a single rectangular map to be uploaded into GPS (unlike the detailed maps from MapSend Streets, it's possible to upload four of those).
As it turned out, the base map for Israel is very poor. Many major roads are missing from the map, and many are off by as much as a mile and a half (two kilometers). At one point we got lost because of it - we turned off at a wrong intersection.
The base map was only useful as a _very_ rough assistance to navigating a paper map.
Interestingly enough, the base map also included topographic notation for heights, and that seemed to be much more precise than the roads.
When I was planning the trip, I had a choice. Either buy MapSend Worldwide Basemap, or buy a cable that would allow me to connect the GPS to my wife's PDA, plus some GPS software for the PDA. I chose the MapSend, and regretted this choice more than once. Live and learn!
MY GOD WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY.......2006-03-24
i ordered cause i want to make a trip to south america, so i waited for the cd (with the maps) and what i received was a useless cd, i installed in my pc, and after says that will no work, i installed the patch, and guess?? it didn`t work, so i emailed the tech support, and they said "we have a problem with the security stuff in the cd, we are working on it, when we have fix it, we will send a new cd for you" and guess..... (yes you are right) 1 year and a half passed, and i don`t have the cd..., what a bad tech support.., then pleople say, don`t go to piracy..... don`t waste your money..,
Great Products -- Customer Support Stinks!.......2006-03-08
I am very happy with my Meridian Color and the other mapsend products I have purchased, however, at first I couldnt get this product to work.
I had no problem getting this software to run with XP (even without the patch), however I couldnt view the basemap I had loaded onto my Magellan. I tried to address this with the company. It has been three days now and they have not even returned my emails. Customer service for this product is nonexistant.
I joined the Yahoo message board and got a simple answer to my question in about four hours someone posted the answer. Turns out I just had to go to the Menu -- Card Utilities and maunually select the basemap. I did not know that basemaps dont change automaticaly like the detailed maps do.
I cannt say enough great things about my experience with my magellan meridian color though. Navigating through Hungary like a pro, I didnt miss a single turn. I would never recommend any of their products to someone who isnt willing or doesnt have the aptitude to learn about it. The Magellan Meridian series is in my opinion the finest product on the market for what it does, portability it provides and is 100 percent upgradable with new software and new maps.
Get you head out of your a__ Thales. You have some great products, but you are blowing your customer support base with non existant customer support. I recommend anyone with a question about softward or the GPS join the yahoo groups and post the question there. Dont waste your time with customer support.
Disappointing and overpriced.......2006-01-06
This is an overpriced and disappointing product that is third rate at best. The user interface is cumbersome and inferior to your average shareware product. But this was not the worse of it. Most disappointing is the detail of map details. Tokyo, for example, has virtually no landmarks and one or two roads (this for a city of 11 million people!). This seems to be consistent with other locations in Asia. Even if this product was free and included when the unit was purchased, it would be disappointing. In other words, it's not even worth it if it were free.
I purchased it in December 2005 and it still required a patch to run on Windows XP Service Pack 2, more than a year after it was released.
Consistent with Magellan's misguided restriction on not shipping any products except to a few countries, I had to have this product shipped to a family member in the USA who in turned shipped it to me.
Clearly the "Global" in GPS does not apply to Magellan's approach to service and support.
Magellan makes good hardware and should stick to that rather than trying to overcharge for inept software.
Had I known the software support is so poor for Magellan products, I would have chosen an other GPS manufacturer such as Garmin.

Excellent cable, value product.......2007-07-27
This cable is very good stuff, the quality is way above el-cheapo cables.
I use 720p from my PC to my plasma, and yeah it's much better than S-video.
Cant' say anything bad about it.
why pay more?.......2007-02-21
With the price of cables being high because of the need to hook up all the high end audio video, I doubt that most people could tell the difference between these "standard" cables and those with a special designation that costs three times as much. Most of the audio/video sites are saying that there is very little difference in top end HDMI cable and a lower price standard one, and by looking at the picture that I am receiving throught these component cables and a standard progressive scan DVD player(without Upscaling)I doubt that there could me much improvement until I am ready for an HD DVD player (when the DVD war is over) Then I will be getting the "standard" HDMI cable as well.
