Yes, I notice once Garmin is up and running, minus the initial sluggishness, even an U-turn on a one way street is shown clearly on the map. The few minutes waiting time can feel like ages though.

Will upgrade to v5.00.10 as you suggested. Thanks.

i have custom poi sets enabled, alsogarmin safety cameras enabled, praps i aint downloaded em correctly

I was wandering if I can combine two maps - one from the mapsource (currentlu - gmasupp.img) and one .img file wich I wolud unlock and make a .unl file. I thought that I could rename my custom mapsource map to gmapprom, and add new gmasupp.img map to my card. The thing is I need Auto drive Hellas, and there is no mapsource version, so I have to do this. Will this work, and will this combination be fully routable. My current maps i made of City Navigator Europe 2009 NT, Adria Route 2.20, SCG route 1.8, Navi Guide Hungary 5.0., ROAD 2006, Maps of Slovakia, Turkey, Bulgaria and Ukraine, and Roads of Russia 4.03.
Sorry for my English

I've installed the mapsource program....and downloaded some of these IMG map files to my C drive. I tried loading these maps with mapsource but the program says that it can't read them (reads only GDB files). I'm really confused in loading these files on to my Nuvi205w. Please help..anyone?...Catymag?

For those of you who have MapSource 6.14.1 installed and experience problems with non official or old Garmin maps: There is a temporary fix.

The application will indicate maps that would cause problems in MapSource 6.14.1 are indicated and fixed with one button click.

sorry catymag, I don't understand where to go? you didn't give the link. I have same problem here. thanks before.

I am trying to run World Map v4.06 on my N95. The img file works perfectly on my GarminMobile XP PC. And, the original works using MapSource. However, after 4 days of experimentation, the Garmin XT program (v4.10.80 s60.9) containing the World Map v4.06 img file still refuses to load on my N95. If I remove the WordMap img file, GarminXT works again. The file is unlocked so a “unl” file is not necessary. Yes, I did try using a “unl” file with MapId=800..

I have also tried swapping the file names (ie gmapprom.img / gmapsupp.img / gmapsup2.img), but no luck. Its strange that I get 4 maps to work (including the base map) on my 8Gb memory card, but I cant get the World Map to work.

May be my version of WorldMap v4.06 is defective in some way? Any ideas?

I have named the maps as follows:
Base map = gmapbmap.img
WorldMap = gmapprom.img / gmapprom.unl
Australia & Asia= gmapsupp.img / gmapsupp.unl
Italy = gmapsup2.img / gmapsup2.unl
