Garmin Nuvi MapSet format- how to store them in your device

**ekbkksd** · 20th August 2011, 02:11 PM

Hi there. I use nuvi 1350T. I downloaded TSM11.1 and put it in my hiddenfolder (.system or something) under gmapprom1.img and it worked! I use TSM11.1 - ENG. I installed AU-NZ map in that folder, too. With gmapoem.img, it also works there

you've lost your OEM POI data map (gmapoem.img), create instead a "Map" folder and place imgs inside with anyname.img

HI

Please bear with me as I am a newbie and a little confused...I have a Garmin Etrex Legend GPS and wanted to put some maps on to it. I have a 32GB SD card and have downloaded the Lake District IMG file, and loaded this onto the card, yet when I turn on the GPS there is no sign of the map other than a symbol of a house where the lake district would be on the basis sat nav map. I've seen other threads where people are talking about downloading mapsource etc. Is this where I have gone wrong and you have to download some other software to get the maps to work. Once again apologies for sheer ignorance!

I think Garmin Etrex Legend can’t load raster maps or satellite imagery, check Garmin product page

Code:

and see if these maps are compatible with your unit.

I checked on the uk site and it says ...

A card reader and microSD/SD card are required to download mapping to the following devices: eTrex® Legend Cx/HCx, Vista Cx/HCx, Venture Cx; GPSMAP® 60CSx/60Cx; GPSMAP 76CSx/76Cx; Rino® 520HCx/530HCx; Astro® 220; StreetPilot® 7200/7500 (not all devices are compatible with all downloads).

So it seems it can do it...I must be doing something really obviously wrong! Is it because I haven't registered my Garmin or connected it to my PC?

Etrex Legend is not in compatible devices list of this and raster maps. See Compatible Devices tab.

A card reader and microSD/SD card are required to download mapping to the following devices: eTrex® Legend Cx/HCx, Vista Cx/HCx, Venture Cx; GPSMAP® 60CSx/60Cx; GPSMAP 76CSx/76Cx; Rino® 520HCx/530HCx; Astro® 220; StreetPilot® 7200/7500 (not all devices are compatible with all downloads).

It's in every map page, but it states:

Perhaps your device does not support SD card of this size at all. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Thanks for your help on this.. I'm confused even more...which maps is it compatible with then? SInce the GPS has a Micro card slot I'm assuming there are some kinds of maps which can be added?

Just try a 4Gib card in it, formatted to FAT32 with only one image of no more than 2025 map segments [tiles] named gmapsupp.img in a root folder named Garmin and it's sure to work provided the file contains only vector content, not raster or satellite imagery as already stated by catymag.

Edit: Make sure you have the latest firmware loaded too.
