Convert garmin .img pseudo-NT to non-NT? I know it's possible, but how?(SOLVED!!!)

Yes, very usefull, hope he can update it for future gpsmapedit versions.

What are you doing at your work? I'm just curious...

I'm doing my thesis in physics, and needed to process a lot of experimental data, so i have to automate the process.
In fact it is not a really a work as i don't get paid for it.
Right now my work is teaching math at the university.

No, this is not the case, because the repackaging of subfiles is not the main in the real-NT format. Unknown bitstream compression algorithm - that's the main thing.

Ahhh, that make more sense.
Well, at least pseudo-nt will definitely work, because when they are converted they become regular non-nt maps.
(or is it that pseudo-nt already works in old GPS garmin units?)

I've unlocked the "untouched" image with gimgunlock before processing it.

Just loaded it to a CF card and the 2710 displays the map info correctly on start-up as "ity Navigator Australia & New Zealand NT 2014.20 -" [did you leave the 'C' off on purpose ,kunix? lol] but then the detail map is not shown on the screen, only the built-in basemap is visible indoors with GPS off. I'll let it acquire sats soon anyway, but that wont change anything.

And is disconcerting ....

I know practically nothing about map making, but is it correct that pseudo-NT [quasi-NT] are non-NT? I think that only NT capable devices can use pseudo-NT maps surely.

For hack need original PRO, Routable or Personal version 0085, not free version. Where to get it?
Can anyone share it?

Hi

In my "back yard" I found attached file. I can not guarantee it is original, nor it is not. Is a file from 2008

**Cnfhbr** · 30th September 2013, 01:45 PM

Thanks, but this version is 0096b. Need version 0085 only!

Spoiler: CLICK

- two loaders for mapedit.exe v. 2.0.77.1 (open pseudo NT format garmin maps). 1-for routable garmin maps; 2-for don't routable garmin maps & source loaders
