    There are 2 ways to have all the tiles to show in "MapSource"

    One is this way:

    Example of Open map of France:

    Spoiler: Download the Basecamp version
    [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]


    Unzip the *.zip into the folder C:/ProgramData/Garmin/Maps/ and start Mapsource or Basecamp. No further installation required.
    Open "MapSource" and you will see the map.

    Or use the IMG version of the file and convert it to an installer version using "GMapTool"

    You will need the program "cGPSmapper Free" or the commercial version of "cGPSmapper" to work with "GMapTool".

    Once you have made the install version with "GMapTool" copy the folder to C:\ProgramData\Garmin\Maps.

    Then use the install inside the folder of the map you made to install.
    It now will show up in "MapSource".

    You are now ready to make a map of the tiles you need.
    As you can see from my other post it will show you the names of the tiles you picked.

    I always pick more that I need and then in the side column I remove the tiles I do not need before making the IMG file.
    Then Transfer the file.
    If you are using the patched version of "MapSource" you can copy it direct to your PC or Laptop.

    Without having you GPS attached.
    Then later you can copy it over to the GPS.
    This saves a lot of time when compiling the IMG file.

    Any of the IMG files I make are only on SD cards that way I can change them anytime I wand to a different map.
