If you want to load the code into your APM you just connect it via USB (or via FTDI cable if you are not using IMU board)  Then you will need to use arduino IDE to upload the code, more details on this can be found http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/wiki/Code

If you are not using windows 7, you will probably also need to install the FTDI drivers, more infor is on the ardupilot mega wiki

Thank you very much for the info,

The process I have taken thus far gives me compiling errors, maybe you can help me troubleshooting.

 

Loaded the Ardurover and libraries folder to the sketch (there are many more but I believe this is what is required)

Copiled with following errors

The code is available from https://github.com/arktools/ardupilotone

select the zip button from the top of the page to download the code as a zip file, follow the install instructions.

I have placed my ardurover project on the side for now.

 

To compile you must use the Arduino relaxpatch available from http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/downloads/detail?name=ardui...=

 

You will also need to delete all your libraries in the Ardurover.pde and replace with the following

// Libraries
#include <DataFlash.h>
#include <FastSerial.h>
#include <SPI.h>
#include <Wire.h>
#include <AP_Common.h>
#include <APM_RC.h>
#include <AP_RangeFinder.h>
#include <GCS_MAVLink.h>
#include <AP_ADC.h>
#include <AP_DCM.h>
#include <AP_Compass.h>
#include <Wire.h>
#include <AP_GPS.h>
#include <AP_IMU.h>
#include <APM_BMP085.h>
#include <ModeFilter.h>
#include <APO.h>
#include <AP_AnalogSource.h>
#include <AP_InertialSensor.h>
#include <AP_PeriodicProcess.h>
#include <Arduino_Mega_ISR_Registry.h>

Hope this helps, there is not a lot of support for ardurover
