@Taurean75, that's a pretty big assumption, now isn't it? What's the purpose of these forums? Is it ONLY to help those who know what to do with the files?
Is it be too much to ask to update the descriptions/instructions as necessary without having them "search" for the instructions. Is it THAT much work for the mods to add instruction and detail to the post where the files are? I think it's rather selfish to assume everyone knows what to do...to only post for those who know what to do and/or identify the files. I don't subscribe to the methodology that the users must read countless other threads and posts just to accomplish basic tasks: identify, run, unlock, and transfer files to your device.
In my situation, I am able to figure out what to do with these files. However, it was a 50/50 choice on which files should I download? The first set or the GMAP set? Let's try to help each other out without having to wait before people start to post on what they should do. If I was mod here, I'd do things differently and make it as easy as possible for people to accomplish their task
And what did I do? I unpacked the files using WinRAR. I then ran MapREVERSEConverter. I selected the subdirectory where the mapset was compressed to (OTHER) "City Navigator North America NT 2011.40.gmap". I clicked Ok and the mapset was being converted to my exisiting mapsource directory. The map was already unlocked because I ran the ALL. BAT app told me the maps were unlocked.
You see, I don't mind sharing information. I believe in having instructions BEFOREHAND is the way to go. Everyone is a noob at some point. The entire collection/upload for 2011.31 was a complete joke. I had no idea what to do...there was one set of files that once they were uncompressed were split three ways into different regions. The lack of support in the thread was shameful, imo.
