I have the same question but was unable to find the answer in this thread.
I followed the instructions from post #8 to split v8 from the main gmapsupp.img file:

After splitting, I get these three files:

- FAM_0185.img (48.2 MB)
- FAM_0460.img (296 MB)
- FAM_2120.img (86.7 MB)

As I understand it, v8 is contained in FAM_2120.img. Being the latest version, why is the size so small compared to v7 ???

If I want to get only v8 into one of my nüvi's, do I have to take the MapSource route (which means losing address search capability) or is there another way (and maintain address search capability)?
