hELLO, sorry to disturb you, but i have bought a nuvi 3760T with Nort America Maps, the question is that i don't have any idea if i need to do something before copy this file to my device, could you indicate any thread to help me if necessary, sorry to disturb but i was a user of TOMTOM in the past, and this is my first Garmin. thanks in advance for your feedback.
In 3760 you can use any map name you want as long as the file has a .img extension.
The files must go in the \Map folder -they will be ignored in the \Garmin folder. (enable show hidden files and folders in windows folder options)
If you use Mapsource to send a map to the unit, it is placed in \Map and named GMAPSUPP.IMG. If you want to load another img, rename GMAPSUPP.IMG to something more descriptive eg Brasil.img

hey thanks now itīs working in fact, in 3760 there is a hiden folder with the name \.System , inside i've found the maps of USA, Canada and Mexico, for the brazilian version i 've only created in the root the \map folder (as you said) and now itīs working, my remaining question is if the appearence will be like a track source map insead the CN maps, that have better image quality, because what i saw is that the image is like track source? Another one, if i want to have CN Brasil 2011.20 without the TRC maps, how can i do that? Thanks in advance for your feedback
ok, but i think the deselect will work only after i split the maps, because without it doesn't work, i will research abou GMapTool , thanks for your help, i hope this procedure works for a garmin 255 too , that i've bought as a present for my Dad. Regards
only the give feedback, the GMapTool works and know i can use the map that i want, but until now i could not make the maps works in the garmin 255, could you give any idea how can i works with nuvi 255, i think i need to use mapsource to tranfer the map, but i don't know how to convert the .img file to the extension that mapsource reads, i've tried with GMapTool, spliting to mapsource format but did not work, any light to help ?
