yes, sorry i meant 2010.30 .... but why no 2011.xx in english .... did we do something wrong?

Went to Harbin last week, find out this map is having OffSet problem. I stay/drive on road but my 3790SG/MY show I travel on off road, away about 100m far, but the moving direction is correct & the navigation is fine, with JCV ok.

PS; I had to change my unit "Text Language" to Simplify Chinese(简体中文) for TTS to work, but I miss out the Voice Command function.

I've not tried this newest map yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if something is not 100% correct. as I know even google has problems with maps of china. you can even see shifted and broken satellite photos somewhere in china

It's a gmapprom.img file. Could anyone tell me how I can convert it in a gmasupp.img file (for use with the Garmin A 10) ?

Thanks !

Just rename it will do.

I renamed the file, but the map didn'nt show up. I also tried the Garmin City Navigator China NT 2011.11 and it didn't work as well.
Is it possible, that these maps are not compatible to my GPS (Garmin A 10) ?

Maps are compatible, but you have to rename them correctly and place them in the right folder

To install the Maps, follow these steps:
On your SD card create a folder called “GARMIN”
Rename *.img as GMAPSUPP, GMAPSUP2, etc.
Copy the maps files into your GARMIN folder so the final destination looks like /SDCARD/GARMIN/GMAPSUPP.img

or

Create a folder called 'Map', then copy your map there, with anyname.img

Check/uncheck your maps from Settings >> Navigation >> Map Info.

I followed these steps, but it didn'nt work (map didn't show up). I don't know where is the problem at all. Because I installed and run successfully an Australian map exactly the same way.
Perhaps my GPS doesn't like Chinese (although it has an Google Chinese IME installed) !!

Did you spell the name right? I notice in your post #14 you used the wrong name gmasupp.img instead of gmapsupp.img.
