Just copy the gmap folder in :
(in XP - C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\GARMIN\Maps) or
(in Vista, Windows 7 - C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Garmin\Maps)
The map will be in Mapsource without any other tweaking.
You asked intructions about how to use updater and how to save files on pc. you posted with an inappropriate title and in wrong section. I changed the title and moved it, in this way it will be useful for other members too, not only for you.
Noeman users fortunately read tutorials and like to learn something
Tutorials are made to give instructions, and you have a confortable index link to find quite everything you need. And following our posting rules , mods shouldnt give already answered questions on forum. It's not my case, I repeat and repeat lol, but it's ok, especially if questions are posed in a polite way.
We'r not a torrent site, we have usually direct links and they'r updated and kept alive for our users
Details are in tutorials, and in sections sticky threads, eg. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Cant repeat instructions in every threads, should be too long and useless for most of users, who need more instructions can go to tutorials.
Try to read something, may be you'll learn something useful
If you had read here: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
you would have get the official Jdownloader site link: no malware
Jdownloader is the best way to download from multiple direct links, torrents are good if they'r new, after a week seeders abandon and they become terribly slow or dead. Try find all the maps we have in our index on valid torrents please.
I already checked and installed and quickly uninstalled this crap called Jdownloader.
Sadly catymag, you've become one of those mods who eventually got caught up in your little box that you just can't see outside of it. Over the years, you were never this way. Your provided details and instructions with your initial posts. Then you just posted the downloads what seems to be just for the sake of it and you were done with it. Your help seems to be to refer people to other threads. That in my opinion is not what a mod who actively participates in the forums should do. I feel you've become very set in your ways because you have the support of those who are like you. I used to really enjoy coming here then the site...at least the Garmin section slowly but surely became eroded. I see this site is in need of moderators, I guess they're desperate. IMO. Maybe it's time for you to be the Catymag I once knew or perhaps you should step aside? I don't think your heart in this mod business like it once was. Like another poster commented, this site is for people who know what to do...and what wasn't said, think like you. Pity.
BTW, when I transferred my newly created image file from Mapsource onto my device, I got an error message saying "cant unlock maps". I even tried using Jetmouse to create an unlock code.....no dice. Thanks for the effort you put into this thread. Your only effort seems to be in adding download links and telling people where to go....very useful info...not.
From another forum. If you google the exact wording, you may be able to figure out where this post came from and download the unlocked image file for 2011.40. If you can't, just think of deviloid. If you still have trouble, PM me and I'll send you the link to the torrent where you can download the unlocked image.
"(Unlocked IMG Instructions)
Use either Part A or Part B depending on your choice:
Part A – Internal Memory
1. Connect your device to the computer.
2. Go into the Nuvi files and backup the file named “gmapprom.img” to your computer.
3. Delete the “gmapprom.img” file from the device.
4. Copy the unlocked “gmapprom.img” file that you downloaded into the device.
5. Restart your device and check your map info via : Tools>Settings>Map>Map Info.
Part B – SD Card
1. Get a 2GB SD card (NOT SDHC) and format it FAT or FAT32
2. Create a folder on the memory card called “Garmin”
3. Copy the downloaded IMG file into the Garmin folder on your SD card.
4. Make sure the IMG file is named “gmapsupp.img” on the SD card.
5. Insert the SD card into your Garmin GPS, and browse to your map information on your Garmin GPS and you should see the new maps selected. This can be found on the device via : Tools>Settings>Map>Map Info. (Note: The SD card must remain in your device if you want to use the maps.)
Why is the file name important?
This must be done because this is not the primary mapset as it is being used from the SD card. The primary mapset is the one on the GPS’s internal memory."

Why 2Gb Sd card?
Nuvi recognize SD card to 16Gb.
Old nuvi on SD use folder garmin for CN new nuvi use folder Map for CN and on new nuvi you can rename map as CN 2011.40.img on older nuvi must be name of map gmapsupp.img
If ju have nuvi 1xxx or new you create folder Map on SD and rename map any name.img
If ju have older (like 7x5,2x5....) you must create folder Garmin on SD and rename map to gmapsupp.img
All nuvi support 4Gb SD card and must be formated to FAT32
FAT recognize single image to 2Gb
FAT32 recognize single image to 4Gb

((sorry folks. i've gotta vent after reading that accusatory and flaming post from "Frustated XT user". Catymag or other Mods feel free to delete this post and reprimand me if needed as you see fit))
No. The pity is when when you choose to not make use of the complete site and learn for yourself. Instead, you whine on and on like someone is supposed to hand hold you through the entire process.
Frustated XT user, you've been a forum "participant' here for nearly TWO years longer than I have. And honestly, you seem to fit the above description to a tee.
In the short time since I got my first GPS(Take note: registered here the same day) I've learned, by reading the posts and following the links, how to accomplish what it is you're being highly critical of Catymag and others of. Some trial and error was involved, sure, you bet.
Yet in the three months since I registered here I went from being a complete and utter newbie to being rather adept at accomplishing what it is you for reasons unknown haven't seemed to grasp yet. And to give credit where credit is due, I've accomplished this with the wealth of information posted throughout this very informative site. By the many before me that have taken the time to thoroughly document and post their knowledge.
IMO you, "Frustated XT user" , owe Catymag and the rest of the moderating staff here an apology for your lack of respect you so vehemently expressed within that post of yours.
Where I a Mod here, and thank your lucky stars I'm not, after reading your very disrespectful diatribe I would seriously be considering banning you and your IP

Guys,
I downloaded the unlocked images part 1 (GNA402011.z01), part 2 (GNA402011.z02), and part 3 (gmapsupp). I'm sure this is very simple but I could not find how to combine these into file for the microsd card. I'm not even sure if this the right place post. Any help or direction greatly appreciated. thanks.

They are zipped/compressed/archived files that when un-archived and extracted will give you the single file.
Edit: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Thank you very much for your reply. It appears that when the last part was downloaded, the gmapsupp was created which combined all three files to one. Just installed it and works great !!!
