Thread: How to update maps on a street pilot 2720

Thanks Catymag, I've found this procedure, a little different, on the net and followed steps by step. It worked!!! Now I've my 2720 with the newst maps.

Here's the complete procedure so someone other can benefit and update his 2720. Credit go to blankman on the gpspassion forum. I've edited his tutorial.

Before doing this I inform you that I've downloaded the West & Central Europe NT 2011.32 Img Unlocked 1.75GB For 2GB SD from a Kor@l and then I've followed this procedure

1. Connect the 2720 with the USB Cable
2. Copy the gmapsupp.img (unlocked) that you've just downloaded in the C:\Garmin folder
3. Rename gmapsupp.img to gmapprom.img
4. Check to see if a WebUpdater folder is inside the C:\Garmin folder. I don't have it inside so I've copied the WebUpdater folder in the C:\Garmin folder
5. Create a new notepad document and paste this text in it

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

6. Save this text file with a name you want but, IMPORTANT, with the .bat extension. Mine was named 2720update.bat
7. When you double-click the SP2720_Update.BAT file, a command-line window should open up on your Desktop, plus WebUpdater should open and report that it's erasing your old maps and copying your new mapset into your SP2720. It will show you a "percent complete" indication as it goes along. When it's complete, WebUpdater will end and close the command-line window with it, at which point, your SP2720 will now have a fresh set of maps.

I've credited the two people where I've downloaded the unlocked img and where I've found the instructions. Thanks again Catymag...
