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.
