The rgn 49 value refers to a memory region within the GPS.

an interesting doc. about webupdater :
Usage: WebUpdater command line options:
<pathname> - Name of file to send to the unit
[/i] - WebUpdater should be run in installer mode.
[/k] - WebUpdater should keep running after a successful transfer.
[/autorun usb|serial] - WebUpdater should autodetect a USB or serial device and begin transfer immediately.
[/checksum_check rgn=<rgnnum> chk=<chksum>] - After transferring data to the region specified, WebUpdater will request the unit to checksum this region.
[/unlock_check fid=<familyid> pid=<productid>] - Before transferring data, WebUpdater will ensure that the user has unlock codes for the given family and product.
[/sacrifice_maps rgn=<rgnnum>] - WebUpdater will ask the unit if <rgnnum> is large enough for the data it will receive. If not, MapSource maps will be erased to make room.
[/offline path=<location of Package.XML>] - WebUpdater will perform the update using Package.XML instead of the Garmin server.
[/upload_file rgn=<rgnnum> path=<location of img file> -autorun usb|serial] - Performs image transfer.
[/offline path=<location of update files> -autorun usb|serial] - Performs all updates in the given folder.

Thanks for this very useful info. Would the RGN value change depending on the GPS device? '49' is for the SP2720 then. Would the value be the same for the SP C340?

Yes it is the same

Hi,
I have bought two US models 2720 to replace our two broken 2610's.
The new America models came with CNNT America v.7 and v.8 . Both where updated online by the seller to CNNTAmerica v. 2011.11
So finally I got the 2720 that is registerd for CN EU maps up and going...nearly...
I can't get it to search for adresses...the screen tells me: No detail maps are available to search.
All other POI is ok..no problems to route to them...
Anyone have an idea what can be done ??

Regards

I just purchase this SP2720, but still waiting for it (maybe take about one m
onth from US to Indonesia)
I'm curious how it will perform (since it the first time i bought GPS)

Is that possible to view Garmin .img Map (City Navigator Indonesia NT) on Windows XP SP2
without having the device? any Link will be appreciated

You can view the image file of [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] or any CN [even a locked version] in [Only registered and activated users can see links. ].

Not sure what you're asking about how it will perform though. SP 2720 is an older device, but is versatile, robust and reliable. It doesn't have all the fancy extras available in modern units.

Had try to download Basecamp at garmin8 website, but unfortunately its wrote for WinXP SP3 or above, mine only SP2.
So i only need those Basecamp software to view Garmin .img files thru computer ? no need another software ?

Actually i bought them only because they are look sexy to me
i'm not a fan of big screen
