Thread: Post here please your help request regarding Garmin

Do you have 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) ?

Do you have the map in Manage map product window ?

As said in post 1097, gmapprom.img is an image file NOT a Mapsource installation, if you want your map in Mapsource you need the gmap folder.
Phones dont see maps greater than 2gb, so, or you install part of the map with Mapsource (gmap folder in the right path) selecting and sending a part less than 2gb or you need a precompiled img (less than 2gb) and copy it in your phone sd in Garmin folder.
you would have saved your time if you had read

A vector map is a database that describes the road network, i.e. the information needed for a route planning system to ‘know’ how to find the route through a road system."Vector" maps display digitized information. In other words, every depth,they allow the user to display "layers" of information .A vector map is a lot faster to scroll, zoom, get particulars.vector maps are easier to read.

A raster map is a picture. It gives only image information.A raster-scanned electronic map is like an electronic snapshot of a paper chart. On-screen it looks just like the same familiar paper charts you've used for years. If you're using a color monitor, you'll usually see the original colors from the paper chart.

Raster charts in any orientation but "north up" (or whatever matches the original raster chart orientation) are not readable because text and labels are pointing sideways or upside down. Vector maps can be rendered with text and icons "right side up" regardless of course and chart rotation..
