Before you go on a ride, you should first download the map of the region where you will be riding.  Depending on where in the world you are riding, this may be an entire country map, or a smaller area like a province or state. Your Raptor supports multiple map files and changes automatically between files as you ride across state lines or regions.

As map files are large, you will need to download them to your computer and then connect your Raptor to the computer with a USB cable.

1. Follow this link, or, sign into go.everysight.com using the same credentials used to sign in Everysight app on your smartphone. Hover over the Support section and select Maps.

2. Find the map(s) that you think you will need for the foreseeable future, and click each map to download it. You can change the map regions on the left side. The map files will normally be saved in your web browser’s Downloads folder.

1. Connect your Raptor to your Mac using the provided USB cable.

2. Launch Android File Transfer (unless it automatically loads). You should see the folder layout of your Raptor. Browse to the Maps folder.
