Nuvi 2595 Question

**Seabee** · 24th March 2016, 02:58 PM

I did look there but I'm not smart enough to figure it out. Jim

Tiger555, Here's what I ended up with on the Sd card
sd:\Map\garmintopo which is the Garmin Topo USV100. A gmapsupp.img file
sd:\Map\*.img which are the Idaho Topo files. These are individual img files so they won't go into a single folder
sd:\Garmin which contains the Garmin Lakes gmapsupp.img file

So what's showing up in myMaps on the unit is
CN North America NT 2017.10 All. This is checked
Topo U.S. 100K v5 unchecked. Thanks to smokefree's explanation I understand why this is now
Lus100f checked
Lus100f checked ( I understand why these are split now also)
All the Idaho Topo maps but as individual image files
So far so good.
Now in order to view say a topo map I have to uncheck CN North America correct? Then check Topo US. Do I have to be in the actual Topo area (on the ground) in order to see the details on the unit? Would I also have to be on a lake to see the details of that lake? Jim

Simply: in folder Garmin or Map (in SD,obvious) any mapset anyname.img is displayed (This in my 2595Lm, european device)

I then loaded some maps on the micro SD card, Garmin Lakes, Idaho topo, and GarminTopo 2008. The Garmin Lake file was loaded in a garmin directory, garmin/gmapsupp.img. The other two were not they are just loaded on the SD card by their selves. The Lakes file is showing up in my list of maps under settings as lus100f. there are two files showing with this name. The other two are not showing up at all. My question is how do I view these or can they be viewed. I'd also like to put Garmin TopoUS 100K.v5 on the SD card if possible. Thanks, Jim

Try This:
Put your other maps in a folder named "Map" on your SD card
Use any filename you like as long as the extention is IMG
examples....
sd:\Map\mytopo.img
sd:\Map\bike paths.img
sd:\Map\City Nav NY.img
sd:\MAp\CNEUNT2017.img

I dont understand why you make all these novels while reading garmindevice.xml gives all the needed info about naming and paths lol.
Only additional rule to keep in mind is: deselect routable maps covering the same area of the map you are using in gps.

Spoiler: see in my 34xx

If <BaseName> is not specified you can use anyname.img

Now in order to view say a topo map I have to uncheck CN North America correct?

Mostly if the topo is routable yes, if it's not routable it depends on topo map (in devices, especially outdoors, may depend on map transparency, drawing priority and on choosen profile in device)

Do I have to be in the actual Topo area (on the ground) in order to see the details on the unit? Would I also have to be on a lake to see the details of that lake?

No, if gps shows the map,you can browse it tapping and zooming to see details.
