Some maps have printing restrictions the only way is this
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

read on official Garmin forum :
Garmin does not make their own maps. They buy map data from a variety of providers. Some of these providers give the data to Garmin on condition that users can't print it. They want these users to buy printed maps separately.

Hi all
I am a newbie here so firstly "HELLO"
I do not have any Garmin Equipment, all i want to do is use my laptop to view marine charts.
I have downloaded the 10 rar files and extracted them which gives me a file called gmapsupp.img
I downloaded Homeport. I have 'Global Map' How do i manage to use the img file with Homeport?

I tried import, but that doesn't work as i think it is looking for a different filename.

Can anyone please help me.
Many thanks.
BTW I used to use Mapsource BlueChart which was easy as all i had to do was install to my laptop and it worked 1st time but that was a few years ago.

Cheers

put the gmapsupp.img in a Garmin folder in an sd or in a pendrive, Homeport will see it.
Or another option in post 12-
