Thread: Post here please your help request regarding Garmin

@djuro7877

Either extract the MapSource_6xxx.exe and install with "MSMAIN.msi" or use the registry file to import MapSource settings in Windows registry.
The exe-file can be extracted with tools like WinRAR|WinZIP|7-zip etc.

I know this has most probably been asked a thousand times before but how to put custom poi,s in and make them work in this phone. I've got them in my nuvi 255. they loaded in with poi loader without a problem (a bit of stuffing around with the vioce alerts) the version I'm running is 5.00.50s60.9.

Hello,
I've just bought a Garmin Astro 220 for my father.
Is anyone know if there's a way to change default language (set to English).

There's no possibility to modify it from System Menu.

I've donwload and extract the last firmware from Garmin and extract the RGN file.

I can see with glang.exe tool that's there is only three languages.

C:\Temp>glang.exe Update.RGN

GLang v0.1 for GPSMAP 60/76 CSx/Cx and eTrex Vista/Legend/Venture Cx

Input file: Update.RGN

fl Address Data Language January

07 19CC6F: 28 61 1A 0C Norsk JAN
07 1A643F: F8 F8 1A 0C Svenska JAN



I have two questions :
--> Is it possible to add language ?
--> Can I switch from Englisth to Norsk for example ?

Thanks for your help

First, thanks you very much Ballebar for your response.

I don't have the unit over hand but I'll try this week end and tell you the issue.

Hello Ballebar,
I am sorry to inform you that in the system menu that you spoke, the only possible choice is English.
I can't choose any other language

If you've got any idea, you're welcome !

Hi, I had a trojan that damaged a lot of my files. I have eradicated the trojan and reloaded Vista. For whatever reason the files that I saved will not reload and this includes my original version of the patched mapsource and a bunch of my maps.

I have a Garmin GPSmap 276c with the proprietary card and was using City Navigator CNNANT 2010.1 & 2008 Topo USA and City Navigator CNNANT 2011.1, These versions of mapsource are essential for my uses as I share maps with friends using the same gps unit and maps.

Since I loaded these maps months ago I am having a hard time learning how to reinstall them.

At this point I have the following:

Patched version of Mapsource which opens and operates (sans specific maps)
Jetmouse key generator
Gmaptool
Mapinstall Version V3.14.2PE

What else do I need? and is there a detailed tutorial on how to load to Mapsource? Since my unit does not have an SD card and does have the Garmin proprietary card I know that I have to install the maps to Mapsource and then upload them to the unit but cannot remember which tutorial to use.

Can someone help please?
