Downloadable Galveston Island Maps for Your 5G Video iPod

Putting Galveston Island Maps onto your iPod isn't difficult. First, you'll need an iPod with Video. Once you've got that, follow these simple instructions:

Step One

Download the Galveston Island Map File and save the .zip file somewhere where you can access it.

Step Two

Unzip or unpack the zip file. Can't unzip a file? Download WinZip for the PC or Stuff-It Expander for OSX.

Step Three

There are a few methods to adding images to your iPod. If you have iPhoto for the Mac (version 4.0.3 or higher, apparently) or Adobe Photoshop Album for the PC (or Mac) you can create separate albums.

Assuming that you do not have iPhoto or Adobe Photoshop Album, we're just going to use the simple folder solution.

With your iPod connected, open up iTunes. (If you don't have iTunes, get it here.)

Once you've got iTunes open, click the little iPod button in the bottom-right corner of the window. It looks like this: iPod Button

Step Four

1. Click the tab labeled iPod
2. Click the tab in the window labeled Photos
3. Click the checkbox labeled Syncronize photos from:
4. Click Choose Folder...
5. Navigate to your folder and open it.

If there are no subfolders, that should be the last step. If you're using a zip file that has subfolders in it, you have to follow these additional steps:

6. Select the radio button labeled Copy Selected Folders
7. Choose the folders you'd like to upload to your iPod.
8. Select OK and that's it!
