To get the ZIP containing the IMG, choose the following download option after you've selected the required tiles:

I think I am getting good at this, because I was able to cover most of the steps above before reading your post!! This is cool!!!

Please let me know if the steps I took are correct:

1. looked for WebInstaller on my laptop via Explorer Search, non found.
2. Found, downloaded and installed the following: WebUpdater_WindowsXPSP3andnewer__257
3. If i try to run the WebUpdater, it says something about not being able to connect to Garmin servers or something of that sort. I suspect this is normal.
4. Went to OSM and picked USA titles on the East coast to a max of 1,000 MB approx - I read it before this is about the size it will fit.
5. Downloaded both gmapsupp.img and exe file. I suppose I only needed the gmapsupp.img
6. Copied the gmapsupp.img to C:Garmin/ folder and renamed it gmapsupp.img
7. Found the newly installed WebUpdater folder and copied it to C:Garmin/WebUpdater folder

And this is where I stopped. I came across different ways to run WebUpdater and not sure about the correct parameters.

So two follow up questions:

- Did i install the correct version of WebUploader, 2.57?
- Which command prompt and parameters should I use?

WebUpdater.exe /upload_file rgn=49 path=C:\Garmin\gmapprom.img -autorun usb /i

OR

C:\Garmin\WebUpdater.exe /upload_file rgn=XX path=C:\Garmin\GMAPPROM.IMG -autorun usb /unlock_check fid=XXXX pid=X /i
