Thread: Speed Camera POI's & 2010 Maps for Garmin

For all of you tired of downloading dozens of files from all those websites that waste your time by timing you or limiting you from downloading more than a few files per day I decided to upload the latest maps I have for Garmin and also Speed Camera POI's.

The maps were tested on Nokia 5800XM (unhacked, fw v21) with Garmin Mobile XT 5.00.60s60.9.
Speed camera POIs were tested on Nokia 5800XM (unhacked, fw v21) with Garmin Mobile XT 5.00.60s60.9 and Nokia N73 with TomTom 6.o2 S60 v3.

First map is Garmin CN North America 2010.20 and include Canada, Mexico and USA with Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands. Size is 1.24Gb and it is archived in 3 parts, first two of 500Mb each and the remaining ~11Mb.
Very Important: MapID 2005
You will need MapID to unlock your map. Easy job, don't panic...yet.
Map Name: GMAPSUPP.img
This is usually the default name for Garmin maps. If you already have a map with this name in Garmin folder on you device or memory card than you can either backup the existing file (do not delete anything, if something goes wrong at least you can revert the changes) or you can rename it to GMAPSUP2.img or GMAPBMAP.img and in this way you can avoid conflicts. To my best knowledge only this 3 names for maps are recognized by Garmin software and that's why you cannot work with more than 3 maps at a time. I might be wrong...
Download and extract all 3 archives in the same folder. You should have 2 files:

GMAPSUPP.img
GMAPSUPP - North America 2010.20 Map - Canada, Mexico and USA (Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico & Virgin Islands) - MapID 2005 - 135 Maps.txt

You might not see the extensions but that's ok. The txt file is only for your references, you don't need to load it on your device. Actually you can use it to create the unlock file from it.

After extracting the map (GMAPSUPP) you need to generate the unlock code and save it in a file with .unl extension. The file name should be identical with the map name...eg: gmapsupp.unl. More details below.
In order to do that you need download Garmin Unlock Generator 1.5 and IMEI to UnitID Converter 1.0.
IMEI to UnitID Converter 1.0 will be used only for cell phones to convert the IMEI number into UnitID. UnitID will be requested by Garmin Unlock Generator 1.5 later to unlock Garmin Mobile XT, not the maps. If you already unlocked the software skip the next steps and continue with MAP UNLOCKING.

SOFTWARE UNLOCKING (Garmin Mobile XT)
To find your cell phone IMEI just type on your cell phone: *#06# and write down the number.
Open IMEI to UnitID Converter 1.0 and type your IMEI in the first filed and hit CONVERT. Write down the generated number.
You can actually skip this step for cell phone by installing Garmin Mobile XT software and checking in TOOLS->SETTINGS->ABOUT...Unlock ESN is your UnitID.
As soon as you have UnitID open Garmin Unlock Generator 1.5 enter your UnitID in the first field, select your product on the next field and hit GENERATE. Copy the new generated code in a .txt file (create a txt file and paste the code inside than close the file and choose SAVE when prompted) and rename the file in: sw.unl
...sw is the new name and .unl is the new extension. If you dont know how to change an extension to a file than you need to return your PC back to the store ASAP...or google it.
The new created file [sw.unl] with the generated code inside need to be copied on Garmin folder on your memory card or device [if your device doesn't have a memory card]. If everything was done correctly than when you start Garmin Mobile XT it should be activated. To check go to TOOLS->SETTINGS->ABOUT.

MAP UNLOCKING
Open Garmin Unlock Generator 1.5 and go to Select Map Product -> <custom mapset> -> type 2005 on FID (or MapID) field and than hit OK -> Generate.
Copy generated code in a .txt file and rename it to the same name like the map (gmapsupp ...upper case or lower case, not important) and change the extension from .txt to .unl.
The resulted file should be something like: gmapsupp.unl
Place the file in the same folder (Garmin) like the map in your memory card or device. Start the software and enjoy.
