Thread: Venus Series City Navigator China NT 2010.30 ENG in PinYin

In-cre-dible !!!
We spent 3 weeks in China and this map was a great great help, worked perfectly. See the videos here : [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
It helped to find our ways thru towns, easily locate train and bus stations, know where we are when we were in trains, and even find adresses
in Shanghaï and Beijing, it works, that was extraordinary. Thanks again for this post, I was wondering if it would work before being in China,
and it did, with a Garmin Etrex Legend Hcx.

Hi all,

I have a Nuvi 255 and am trying to add this map to it but the Nuvi fails to recognize it. I first copied the img to the Nuvi and it said it was locked. Then I tried the whole process to unlock it with MapSource (installed using Basecamp + MapSource update) and GMapTool to create the files for MapSource. MapSource does show the map (starting at like 200km zoom?) and I can select the sections I want. I tried sending all of them to the Nuvi and it was successful (created a big gmapsupp.img which I renamed to gmapprom.img). The problem was that when I was searching for streets in the Nuvi, only one city's streets were coming up! So I deleted it and then tried to send just the one section of the map I needed to the Nuvi and it created a smaller gmapsupp.img. When I try to use it or view it, it still only shows some of the street names when I search for it. Am I missing a step to unlock this file? Will the maps only show up when I am actually in the city in China? Is there a better version of this file that wont require the unlock using mapsource?

Any help is greatly appreciated! :D
