Thread: TOPO Germany 2010 (v4) - IMG+ Mapsource( original version)

@p!xeldealer: Can I ask you, is there just the original GMap version (I have a mac, and GMaps can also be easily used inside MapSource too )
As far as I can see, it is working fine though, also after converting back to GMap format. I just like to have the originals.

I hope this does not sound greedy I love this post already, so thumbs up once more !!!!

Kind regards, Math.

The mapsource-version is converted from gmap to classic format for unlockking. To use it on Mac you must reconvert it with MapConverter to gmap-format. Unlocking on Mac is not avilable.

I would also really appreciate to have the original Mapsource Version. At least then we know that any kind of 'bug' or strange behaviour is a bug even in the original version. Can someone pls. upload the original mapsource version... please...

Seems to be normal, same with streetnames.
I only have the link to the German FAQ, where they describe that Streetnames are not in the PC Version and also not when transmitting to the device.
Maybe its the same with POI's

The missing streetnames in MapSource can be solved.
Just download the example TopoFile 2010 of garmin.com and extract that *.typ file.
You may alos get the extracted file in other forums for download.

Hello,
first of all let me say thank you for these great downloads. I got the mapsource version and it works well on my PC an my Garmin 60 Csx. I only have one question regarding POIs: I can see POIs regarding eating and drinking ( like restaurants or bars ) from the Topo map on my PC and 60 Csx. When I search for them on the 60 Csx there is no sub-category for eating and drinking, I can only find them with the 'All POIs' function. Is this performance connected to the TYP file that comes along with the download?
Thanks in advance for your Help and best regards
Jörg

Great map. I was walking in the German 'Sauerland' region and got lost on the way. This map shows even the smallest roads. It led me to a road from which I thought, wow... can I walk here. Yes, I took the risk and the gps showed my route on the map. Was back on my trail within the hour and it led me straight 'home'. This was my first experience with getting lost and using my gps. Thank you for this great map! Probably would still have been walking in Germany without this map :-)

Hey,

I used a few maps from this site previously on my Garmin Oregon 450 and a patched MapSource version from here. While I have been busy for quite some time, I have a new computer now and some more time (and the weather is improving) so I thought I download the latest MapSource and look for a new topographical map of Germany.

I downloaded this map quite a while ago and can't remember which one I used, but I'm assuming it must be the MapSource version (since I have a few files which extract and install automatically and an instruction by p!xeldealer). Today I downloaded MapSource 6.16.3 and MapInstall 3.15.0 both with the patch as well. Works fine so far.

I'm running Win 7 x64 and it looks to me as if the default folder is

C:\ProgramData\GARMIN\Maps

now.

So I followed the instructions outlined by p!xeldealer and opened MapSource, the logo came up and under "Maps" this map was listed. But there was nothing to see, just an empty screen with lots of empty tiles.

I tried it a few times with a updated .reg file as mentioned previously in the thread but none of it worked.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Garmin\Mapsource\Families\FAM_2215\1]

I also checked the registry and tried updating it myself (changing the folder from [C:\Garmin] to the "new" [C:\ProgramData\GARMIN\Maps] in the registry) but nothing changed, the map is still listed in MapSource as "non lookable" but I can't see a thing.

The "standard" .reg file that came with the map installation looks like this:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Garmin\Mapsource\FamiliesNT\FAMILY_2215]
"ID"=hex:A7,08
"IDX"="C:\\Garmin\\FAMILY_2215\\TDBtopod.mdx"
"MDR"="C:\\Garmin\\FAMILY_2215\\MDRMAP.img"
"TYP"="C:\\Garmin\\FAMILY_2215\\I00008A7.TYP"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Garmin\Mapsource\FamiliesNT\FAMILY_2215\1]
"Loc"="C:\\Garmin\\FAMILY_2215\\"
"Bmap"="C:\\Garmin\\FAMILY_2215\\Basemap.img"
"Tdb"="C:\\Garmin\\FAMILY_2215\\TDBtopod.tdb"

I can download a new or different version, but I get a bit confused by what I actually "need", I would like to have the maps in MapSource, so that I can "play" around in it on the computer and then transfer it to the GPS (as I have done it in the past, e.g. copied the IMG to the computer first and used one of the unlockers to unlock the map and then copying it to the GPS/SD Card).

If someone could help me (I know, it's not the newest thread anymore) I would really appreciate it, I tried the best I could before bothering you guys.

Thanks a lot in advance.

IMHO te converted versioń mapsource is nonsense
after install folder famili is 3G. after creating gmapsupp.img (selected all 732 maps) 1,5G
