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

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
