Garmin Nuvi 50 will recognize 4 separate names, is this correct?
gmapbmap (usually basemap)
gmapsupp

Thanks, did that and it's working fine.
Just working through the possibilities as the Nuvi 50 is quite flexible so far...
I've got 3 maps working ok now: Bluechart, City Nav and Topo v3, no need for any more, cheers!
Basecamp, Homeport and Mapsource like the Nuvi 50 as well...Last edited by Schermann; 7th April 2012 at 04:21 PM. Reason: syntax
