Thread: Garmin Nederland binnenwateren/Dutch waterways

Thanx catymag. I'll study them for splitting large img files to be able to use them in mapsource.

for this map in this thread I tried the FAM installation in post #2. So splitting wasn't needed. After unlocking the FAM directory with a tool Iand copying it to the right garmin directory in the root i tried to run the install bat. This didn't work becaus the file couldn't get acces to the registry. So i wrote my own reg file for a 64-bit OS installtion. This didn't work like charm:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Garmin\Mapsource\Families\FAM_1394]
"TYP"="C:\\Garmin\\FAM_1394\\I0000572.TYP"
"ID"=hex:72,05
"IDX"="C:\\Garmin\\FAM_1394\\mapset.mdx"
"MDR"="C:\\Garmin\\FAM_1394\\mapset.img"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Garmin\Mapsource\Families\FAM_1394\1]
"TDB"="C:\\Garmin\\FAM_1394\\mapset.tdb"
"LOC"="C:\\Garmin\\FAM_1394"
"BMAP"="C:\\Garmin\\FAM_1394\\mapset.img"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Garmin\Mapsource\Families\FAM_1394]
"TYP"="C:\\Garmin\\FAM_1394\\I0000572.TYP"
"ID"=hex:72,05
"IDX"="C:\\Garmin\\FAM_1394\\mapset.mdx"
"MDR"="C:\\Garmin\\FAM_1394\\mapset.img"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Garmin\Mapsource\Families\FAM_1394\1]
"TDB"="C:\\Garmin\\FAM_1394\\mapset.tdb"
"LOC"="C:\\Garmin\\FAM_1394"
"BMAP"="C:\\Garmin\\FAM_1394\\mapset.img"

Still there is something fishy about the FAM installation. I can perfectly zoom in, place waypoints and a create a track and move the map but as soon as i want to select a submap (placing it in the left 'mapbox') for transfer mapsource crashes and wants to send a report to Garmin. Furthermore I seem to have blank spot s in the map when moving to far east or north (within borders of the map).

-big last edit-
NON Relevant musings what might went wrong

-edit- non relevant musing

Finally i did it, solved all problems I mentioned. The install.bat must be run as administrator but it still didn't add key's in the 64-bit part of the registry.
So i studied what kind of keys the install bat made in the 32-bit part of the registry.
After studying that I made again a new registry file which adds keys in the 32- and 64-bit part of the registry. This is it:


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Garmin\Mapsource\Families\FAM_1394]
"TYP"="C:\\Garmin\\FAM_1394\\I0000572.TYP"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Garmin\Mapsource\Families\FAM_1394\1]
"TDB"="C:\\Garmin\\FAM_1394\\mapset.tdb"
"LOC"="C:\\Garmin\\FAM_1394"
"BMAP"="C:\\Garmin\\FAM_1394\\mapset.img"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Garmin\Mapsource\Families\FAM_1394]

"BMAP"="C:\\Garmin\\FAM_1394\\mapset.img"

You musn't define a highest level map where there isn't one. It's so simple....

I now can move in all directions without getting blancs, select submaps without crash. This should be the solution on a 64-bit OS
