It's called Garmin Discoverer 50K All v2.00. So I started zoomimg on the map. But didn't matter how far I zoomed I never saw real topo images. I kept zooming in on the second level map, never got to the tiles with image info like you see in post #1. BTW detail is on "high" and viewing only 2D mode. "Only basemap" is unchecked.

Also when selecting this map I got the message it wasn't printable, big deal but just mentioning it to check if this is normal and not part of the problem

What's the problem?

Most Garmin maps have printing restrictions due to copyright protection. That could be seen in both BaseCamp and HomePort.

The GB Discoverer map should shift to different raster layers in BaseCamp depending on map detail level and zoom level.

Map detail = High | Zoom = 15 km

Map detail = High | Zoom = 3 km

Map detail = High | Zoom = 700 m

Latest Garmin BaseCamp for Windows is currently v3.2.2

Solved the problem with the new version. Is auto updating of Mapsource and basecamp save in conjuction with the patch versions of the .exe files? I've disabled it.

If you want the patched version you have to replace the patched.exe again after updating-

A bit late reply, but since no one has answered the question yet...

The nüvi 310 (any nüvi 3xx in fact) is not capable of using files larger than 2 GB. The gmapsupp.img file size of GB Discoverer is 2.47 GB. So this map won't work on the nüvi 310, no matter how you unlock it. The unit will simply not show it.

Thanks for help, part #7 does not exist

griellwe · 24th January 2012, 12:05 PM

Only part #7 does not work, all other parts seem to be working fine. If anybody has got this part, could you post a link to this part? Thanks

Hi
The new Garmin eTrex 20 & 30 reads Garmin GB discoverer maps on a microsd card - but has anyone managed to install it using instructions in this thread? Would luuuuurve to save 150 odd quid or so

Cheers
