On my LG Incite CT810, I have Garmin XT 5.00.20w installed and working successfully with worldwide basemap. I want to install CNNT NA 2011.31 as detailed mapset, I have this downloaded and extracted to a folder on my desktop. Using JM-KG-v1.5+5digit+checsum with map ID 2283 to create unlock code. Open Mapsource 6.16.3.0\utilities\manage map products\unlock regions\add. I copy and paste 25 digit unlock code directly from keygen window. Map manager window says map product not installed. I have read and re-read numerous posts/threads/tutorials and can't seem to understand where I am going wrong. Assistance is greatly appreciated.

you must put the gmap folder in
(in XP - C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\GARMIN\Maps) or
(in Vista, Windows 7 - C:\ProgramData\Garmin\Maps)
you'll have it then in Mapsource

I am using XP, dragged and droppped the folder from desktop to the folder on C: then extracted the files to that location. Contents of the folder are CNNT NA 2011.31 gmapprom.rar (parts 1-6) and a gmapprom.img file. re-opened mapsource and same result, map product not installed. Exit everything, restarted computer, same result, map product not installed.
Also have seperate desktop folder with CNNT NA 2011.30. It contains CNNT NA 2011.30 gmap.rar (parts 1-5) and a CNNT NA 2011.30 gmap folder. Repeated the procedure as directed with the same results, map product not installed.

gmapprom.img is the map image to drop directly in your gps, not a mapsource installation
read please

read my previous reply for the gmap folder , unrar the folder and drag in the right path; you must have Mapsource software installed

I thought I had mapsource installed. It opens and I seem to be able to use it. There are just not any installed maps inside of mapsource. I am totally lost! I never expected this much trouble, my brain is frazzled and there is smoke coming from my ears. maybe I will try tomorrow with a better outlook.

one dumb, quick question about Mapsource 6.16.3 + Patched release. Do I patch mapsource with this download, or is this the mapsource software with the patch already installed, thereby rendering the "patch it" step in the tutorial irrelevant?

the soft is here
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
you must download the official one, then find&open Mapsource folder and replace the original exe with the patched one.
(you can rename the old one with someting like Mapsource nonpatched.exe) after that, create a shortcut to you desktop from the patched one, replacing the original.
Usually this explaining is present in every MS patch release thread, if not in the last one I'll add now

Can you see the map in Mapsource ?

I have downloaded the official 6.16.3 from Garmin website. The download contains 2 .exe files. 1) is Mapsource_6163.exe and 2) is Setup.exe. Which one, or both do I delete?

**catymag** · 3rd March 2011, 09:12 PM

install Mapsource with setup and then replace Mapsource.exe

**trumpsta** · 3rd March 2011, 09:38 PM

done. Open the 6.16.3+patch reveals 1) MapSource_6163.exe, and 2) Setup.exe. The folder labeled mapsource ***** 6.16.3 contains Mapsource.exe also, is this the one I use?
