Just a thought here, and this is one that started with 2011.30.
If this is a North America map, why then is French Guiana included, which is located in South America. No one has given me a satisfactory answer as of yet, and I wonder if Garmin needs to have a refresher course on geography.

One poster on page two asked why there were GMAP downloads. He questioned their usefulness. Look at me. I am why GMAP directories are necessary.
Now, I am thankful that Noeman has a GMAP directory for download, because I split my maps between internal and external memory. While a lot of users have newer units with enough memory to fit within the unit, I plug along with an old 200W that works perfectly. No need for me to get a newer unit, especially with the changes Garmin made in the firmware of newer units to remove features I felt were essential, e.g. cross streets in the banner bar when NOT navigating. At the same time, I don't like wasting space, which is why I split the maps between internal and external memory to begin with. If I didn't care about that, I'd be downloading an .img file myself. But while I could do that and be like everyone else in requesting an unlocked image, I prefer to do things myself.
There is a sense of satisfaction in doing the work yourself.
is 3D img available yet for 2011.40 ?
Mapsource does not recognize the GMAP folder that I placed in the C-drive Maps folder on my PC after downloading and decompressing the 4 files. Doesn't the 2011.40 map have to be properly installed from a .msi or .exe file before a computer will recognize it? Don't registry values have to be installed? I know that I can't simply take an application from Program files on my computer and cut and paste it to another computer's Program files and expect it to work, yet isn't that essentially what is being done here?
Can someone post the install files for 2011.40?
which Mapsource version do you have ?
it must be copied 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)
enable hidden files and folders in windows in folder options
I use Windows7 and patched Mapsource 6.16.3; I put them in the folder C:\ProgramData\Garmin\Maps and worked fine.

Thanks for your responses. I have Windows 7. Mapsource version 6.15.7. I put the folder in C:\ProgramData\Garmin\Maps. Maybe I have the wrong version of Mapsource?
When I downloaded 2011.10 from a torrent site, I had used Haklabs method to install the maps. That involved patched .EXE files and in general was pretty messy. You couldn't upgrade Mapsource or Mapinstall and hope to be able to use the old maps.
When I downloaded 2011.20 from the same torrent site, I again used the Haklabs method. But I received a message telling of an easier way: Using MapReverseConverter and Garmin Unlocker to unlock the files. I swore I would use the combination when I downloaded 2011.30. I did too and it was far easier. Now, instead of having to worry about patched .EXE files and not being able to upgrade, I could simply install 2011.30, convert and unlock the maps, and be done with the entire process.
2011.40 from this site is probably the easiest map conversion I've ever done. Drop an unlocking .EXE into the GMAP directory, run it, and you're good to go once you copy the GMAP directory to where it is supposed to go. The only niggling issue I had was that the installer files were missing. I uninstalled 2011.30 thinking it would retain Mapsource and Mapinstall. Reinstalled 2011.30, ditched its maps, and I was good to go.
If it's this simple, why aren't more people doing the work themselves instead of begging for an .IMG file? Maybe it's me, but while I know quite a bit about the technical side of GPSrs including maps and POIs, there's always more that can be learned. As you see above, as you learn, you find simpler, easier ways of doing things.
Hi, please i need gmap folder locked, is posible that some one upload it, thank you so much...............
