Alright, I'm new to these "free" map and have no idea what to do with them. My goal is to update my Garmin 1350 2011.10 NA map with these. If someone can post a link on how to it'll be much appreciated.
You have to navigate to get to the good.

Another qustion...
Once I save all the Installation files that are D/L... where do I find the JCV, ASR files etc ?
I don't see them right off the bat as I used to in version past install versions.
Do they need to be unpacked from one of the cab folders or somewhere else ?
Do I use 7-Zip to unzip/unpack them ?
Thanks.
You won't find them on your Computer at all, as they are downloaded directly to the Device now.
The Device model effects what update files are (or are not) installed to the Device (depending on what files that specific device can use).
During the Device update process, the updated Device files are not ever located anywhere on your Computer.
They are downloaded directly to the device.
If you select the "Install to Device and Computer" option, you will then be updating your Computer (MapSource) AND the Device.
The complete "img" folder (that is downloaded to the temp folder) is the same for all Computer/MapSource downloads, regardless of the Device model or type.
If you want to save the MapSource installation files, they are saved in the %temp%\img directory.
The "trick" to saving them is to copy that "img" directory somewhere else to your Computer while your Device is getting updated.
As, once the Device update is finished that temp "img" directory is automatically deleted.



WknThDog,
Thanks for that explanation. I was able to capture the IMG files while doind the update and was going crazy trying to find those other files. Now I know why I couldn't find 'em.
So we have to depend on members here to pick the pertinant files off of their devices which have been legitimately obtained via an update from Garmin.
One of the ooptions given by Garmin when you do an update is to save the files to the computer if you another device to "update", but if the files left behind are generic for ALL devices, you still have to go online and plug into the Garmin server in order to get the needed files for that particular device.
That really sucks.....
I wonder if there is any way to capture the info while it is streaming to the device.
Something like that is beyond my knowledge and skills for sure, but maybe someone else can figure something out.
I wonder if it's possible to edit the XML file on the device before hooking up to the Garmin Update server and change the "Part Number" to a number of a unit that would require the files you need (or want), such as putting in the Part number of a 885t into the XML files of a 775t. I wonder if it would then push those files to the 775t thinking it is a 885t.

When I attempted to download the map, it tried to roll me back to the 2011.20 version. I have noticed many posts on Websites complaining about problems with the new maps.
Looks like a recall of some sort
