Thread: How to install multiple maps on Garmin the easy way

Hi,

does anybody know if the method explained initially in the thread works with iQue as well?

regards b-ruin

Hi Catymag, I woul like to install several maps (Mapsource) om my PC, before transfering (parts of) maps to the GPS. The C-partition of my HD does not have so much free space, but my H-partition has plenty of space. When installing maps, the installer aks where to install the map. Even when I choose the H-partition, maps will be installed in C:\Documents and settings\All users\Application data\Garmin\maps. How can I get the installed maps on the H-partition? Thanks for your help.

If anypone has an Oregon x50 series, maps can have any name ending in .img. So Europe 2010 ould be EUNT2010.IMG. This way you can have multiple maps and know by nfilename which is which.
This way you can have an8GB card with maps you are not using at the moment in a top level directory calles say 'Unused Maps' and jus move file to /Garmin/ when you want to use the map.

Hi guys,
Can you, please explain me what I do wrong!? I tried to load in N97 Mobile XT 4 maps: CNEurope 2011.40, SCGRoute2.4 (both .exe instaled in MapSource), AdriaRoute3.2 & BGRoute4.4 (both .img files)
First I tried with GMap Tool to brake .img maps and to install them in MapSource and I did it, at least they show up in MapSource I select different maps and transfered to my device, but in my phone I couldn't see some parts, like Macedonia, Bulgaria and some other maps were very limited informations? but at least I could see maps from Europe.
Than I tried to load separately; CNEurope and SCGRouting from MapSource as gmapsupp.img file and the other two merged with GMap Tool and sendet to device as gmapprom.img file...again same situation with limited informations, but now I couldn't see map from Europe any more, even on the last try I delete gmapprom.img file and I tried to load only CNEurope with MapSource and the file is there (in the phone), but XT say that there is no detail map loaded???
Can you explain me this?
Thanks,

Thanks for this information, now to discover if my GPS will support More than one gmapsupp.img file.
If so that will make my life easier, if not this information will also make my life easier.

thanx~~ but will this work on Garmin Asus A10 phone??

Quick question I downloaded a unlocked northamerican map for my 205w but there is no gmapsupp.img in my garmin folder. Is the gmapprom.img the same as the gmapsupp.img? can the gmapsupp be written to gmapprom?
