Thread: Garmin Great Britain topo v2

This map is MapSource version.
After you install MapSource as suggested by catymag, and install this map to mapsource and unlocked it followin instructions from first post,
transfer complete map from MapSource to your local drive (C).
In folder C:\Garmin you will have file gmapsupp.img.
If you already have one map on your phone, rename this one to gmapsup2.img and copy it to \Garmin folder on SD card of your phone.
If this will be only map on your phone, just copy it as it is in \Garmin folder on SD card of your phone or you could transfer it directly from MapSource to connected phone (Garmin Mobile XT).

Fantastic information. I will follow Catymags instructions first and then venture into the MapSource instructions from Midnight Blues. I will post back on the experience for the benefit of others like me. (Those who are reliant on guides and help from the forum members to achieve the goal).

Feeling a bit silly. I have got stuck trying to install Garmin XT Standalone Version with EN (British and US) and GR language only. First there was no exe file, just a .sis file so I used "Nokia PC suite" to install the sis file. It appeared to install, I then disconnected from "Nokia PC suite" and reconnected in "data transfer mode" and installed the .exe files for basemap and resources. All seems OK. I now try to find .sis file on phone as in the guide. I am unable to find it, but in application manager on the phone it has the Icon. When I select it the screen refreshes and nothing else happens, no garmin runs. Tried for quite a while before accepting I can't work out my mistake.

Nokia N95 V1 with v35.0.002 (18-11-09) Firmware. 2GB SD card.

I have got mapsource v6161 installed now and the map unlocked by following the instructions. Problem is when I try to transfer the map to PC local drice (C) I am only offered the choice of "send to device" or "receive from device", I can't see how to send to a folder on the local (PC) disk drive as instructed.

After installing MapSource 6.16.1 Patched, choose "Send to device..." and then from drop-down list select (C:\)

Hmm, I have searched the phone mem and the SD card, via phone and also PC but no sis file, perhaps this is because I have used the UK stand alone version of Garmin XT which does not have the .exe file to run as per the guide?

OK just tried to do an uninstall and reinstall following the guide. The problem I seem to have is the downloaded zip file has no .exe file to use as instructed, instead there is a .sis file and other folders in the unzipped folder. Any idea what the problem is or should I use a different download version to solve the problem.

you should have a file manager on your phone like LCG x-plore
