    Hello,
    I have seen many posts about the icelandic map here and so far it's not yet completly clear to me.
    What do I need to do to have this map working in Mapsource or Basecamp? I have put the iceland.img file from post 2 (Catymag) on a SD card in a map GARMIN/. In Basecamp the map is loaded and I can view it but I can't add tracks or routes, how come? Is this map routeable? How can I have this map installed in Basecamp so I can send the map together with a City Navigator to my GPS device and have both maps on it. Do I need to do an action to have an icelandic keyboard to type in the locations? Would it be still possible to go to my dutch keyboard, can you switch?
    This could be fo a GPSmap, Oregon or Monterra. So far I have always borrowed a Garmin device but I would like to buy one now, still have to figure out which one.
    thank you!

    Hi
    the file in post n19 is an .img you can copy directly in your sd in device: sd/Garmin/yourmap.img
    Basecamp will show it too in sd plugged to your pc, but it's not a pc installation for Basecamp or Mapsource, we don't have original one.
    You can create it with Gmaptool but you'll loose address search.
    [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
    Img is unlocked
    With new Basecamp you can use Trip Planner with this map , add routes, waypoints etc

    Tested working with this map

    You have to navigate to get to the good.

    Thanks catymag,
    I just made a mistake I just needed to select my libary, stupid of me...
    The reason why I would install it into Basecamp or Mapsource is because I'm then able to put multiple maps on a SD card to Garmin device. After installing I select all the portions of maps I want to have on my sd card and send them to the device. I think this is still the most common used way of working right?
    So when you use GMAPtool, you are able to install it in Basecamp but you can't search anymore on places. Do you also lose the search function on your device also?
    What search function do you mean? Is this CTRL + ALT + F? Yelp search? I don't think so right, since yelp is internet search.
    I do a search right now I can't find anything.
    What is the best way to get multiple maps on a device (including img files)

    thanks!

    Yes no address search, in BC and in device, only search by POIs.

    If you have a maps installed in Basecamp use Mapinstall.
    If you have an .img (original and not made with Gmaptool splitted map for Mapsource) copy directly in device after unlocking. New devices support multiple IMGs in sd.
