Sorry missed your last post earlier.

I'm unable to say why you're not able to get sendmap to work for you adding the already compiled gmapsupp.img file. I've tried again with the SP adding a 'non-NT' *OpenStreetMaps map of ~195MB which contains many tiles. Two alternate methods work for me with that unit:

Method 1 [bypasses the GUI]:
1. Put gmapsupp.ing [unlocked] in the same folder as sendmap.exe
2. Drag the img onto the exe file
3. A DOS window opens and shows the upload progress to the unit.

Method 2 [add the img using the GUI without drag'n'drop]:
1. Put gmapsupp.ing [unlocked] in the same folder as sendmap.exe
2. Double-click sendmap.exe to open the GUI
3. Press 'Add maps' button and the explorer 'Open' window will default to the same folder showing gmapsupp.img
4. Selecting the img and 'Open' adds the map to the GUI panel
5. Pressing 'Upload maps to GPS' button shows the progress in the DOS window.

If you still can't get sendmap to work, there is another way i've added detail maps to old 'region-only' units like StreetPilots using WebUpdater and command line, but i'm loath to encourage you to use it because i've never tried it with a very old unit such as your GPS V. If you want to read about it, here's the links: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and [Only registered and activated users can see links. ].

Yet another method is to flash the map as an RGN file using Updater.exe. In most 'region-only' older units, the primary detail map [gmapprom.img] is held in region 49 [hex 31] and the supplementary map [gmapsupp.img] is held in region 10 [hex 0A]. Often those regions share space, i.e. erasing a supplementary map from rgn10 will allow a larger primary map to be flashed to rgn49 and vice versa. The basemap is held in rgn3 and i did a tut a while back to change regional basemaps in older units: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. The same principle applies with flashing detail maps to regions 10 & 49.

I have no idea if your unit uses those same regions for map storage which is why i initially suggested using SendMap20 because it's 'smart' enough to know where to flash gmapsupp.img in all units old and new. It will even create a 'Map' folder for very modern 'file system' units which can use it. If you want to try one of the other methods using WebUpdater or Updater.exe i'm willing to help you but the risk will be all yours of course. Unfortunately i don't have access to a GPS V to 'dump' regions to see what's stored where, but you can do that if you wish. Read from Post 31 onwards here: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. Also unfortunately as you'll see reading those posts, it's difficult to get the 'old hands' interested in helping with such old units these days, i was pretty much flying solo over there.

*If you want more up-to-date maps, you could also try to flash an OSM img for your required location in the states. They are kept right up to date:
