Well an how to would be very nice. I'm currently trying to it. I gather I first have to split the garminsupp.img in the original indivudaul files. first trying to that.

-edit-Splitting for this map is not needed. There is a FAM version supplied in post #2

second step would be copying to garmin directory in root of harddrive, third unlocking files with tool. Last make a reg-file for this FAM dir for a 64-bit registry update

Thanx catymag. I'll study them for splitting large img files to be able to use them in mapsource.

for this map in this thread I tried the FAM installation in post #2. So splitting wasn't needed. After unlocking the FAM directory with a tool Iand copying it to the right garmin directory in the root i tried to run the install bat. This didn't work becaus the file couldn't get acces to the registry. So i wrote my own reg file for a 64-bit OS installtion. This didn't work like charm:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Garmin\Mapsource\Families\FAM_1394]
"TYP"="C:\\Garmin\\FAM_1394\\I0000572.TYP"
"ID"=hex:72,05
"IDX"="C:\\Garmin\\FAM_1394\\mapset.mdx"
"MDR"="C:\\Garmin\\FAM_1394\\mapset.img"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Garmin\Mapsource\Families\FAM_1394\1]
"TDB"="C:\\Garmin\\FAM_1394\\mapset.tdb"
"LOC"="C:\\Garmin\\FAM_1394"
"BMAP"="C:\\Garmin\\FAM_1394\\mapset.img"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Garmin\Mapsource\Families\FAM_1394]
"TYP"="C:\\Garmin\\FAM_1394\\I0000572.TYP"
"ID"=hex:72,05
"IDX"="C:\\Garmin\\FAM_1394\\mapset.mdx"
"MDR"="C:\\Garmin\\FAM_1394\\mapset.img"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Garmin\Mapsource\Families\FAM_1394\1]
"TDB"="C:\\Garmin\\FAM_1394\\mapset.tdb"
"LOC"="C:\\Garmin\\FAM_1394"
"BMAP"="C:\\Garmin\\FAM_1394\\mapset.img"

Still there is something fishy about the FAM installation. I can perfectly zoom in, place waypoints and a create a track and move the map but as soon as i want to select a submap (placing it in the left 'mapbox') for transfer mapsource crashes and wants to send a report to Garmin. Furthermore I seem to have blank spot s in the map when moving to far east or north (within borders of the map).
