I've downloaded the "Mapsource v6.16.1 Special patched" and was going to replace the installed Mapsource.exe file in my Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit version machine but I cant seem to find the installed Mapsource.exe anywhere. I looked in the control panel and even took out the location and source tabs in the explorer - it shows nothing in the location tab while the source tab shows "C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Temp\7zS&D6C.tmp\"
Any help appreciated! TIA

right click on old mapsource icon on your desk- properties and you will have the path of the file to replace

run the sis file from the root directory of your phone using a file manager like x-plore, it's not completely installed

I'm currently using Garmin XT (don't know which version) & I've just downloaded the East Malaysia topo map from the 'West Malaysia+East Malaysia (includes Brunei)Topographic Garmin GPS Map' thread. How do I use/install it? Any instructions? I'm new to this thing anyway

I dont remember if it's locked or not- check with
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
if locked use this
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
then copy in your garmin directory, if it's your second map, before copying,rename it gmapsup2.img-

Thanks.

But it seems that I can't use it as 'gmapsupp2.img'. I have to rename it as 'gmapsupp.img'.

EDIT: Opps, it's gmapsup2.img, not gmapsupp2.img

Anyway it still doesn't work for me. But it works when I rename it as gmapprom.img

EDIT 2: Ah jeez, now I can't use the find address function. I have to restore the original gmapprom.img file. My final solution is to 'join' the topo map img file with the gmapsupp.img file using the GMapTool. This time it really works. Thanks for the tool
