You have to navigate to get to the good.
Galaxy S5 Kitkat 4.4.2 / Nuvi1200->1250 / Nuvi3790T->34xx / Nuvi 2200 / Nuvi 66 / Oregon 600
I installed with Mapsource my custom mapset of Europe on Nuvi 3760. I copied G2S and trafficTrends db for whole Europe to device. I see under my customs mapset trafficTrends record in Nuvi maps properties.
Is it interesting the trafficTrends function will be work? Who know if there are trafficTrends db for whole Europe in regional device or specific limited file only?
what are these files
gmaptz.img
D3084010A.JCV for Nuvi 7x5 Europe full coverage
D2504040A.JCV for Nuvi 37xx Europe full coverage
D2666030A.JCV Western Europe Full lane assist

Thanks lolypop000, but I need UK and ROI!
Meanwhile, I tried the "old style" method, as suggested by Rudy_P: downloaded MapReverseCoverter with mapsource 6.13.7 (from here: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] - post #5), installed and "reversed" the maps, then unlocked with Garmin Unlocker ([Only registered and activated users can see links. ]). All perfect - my mapsource has now the newest maps!
Then, in mapsource 6.13.7 I've selected all the maps excluding nordic contries - Norway, Sweden and Finland (I don't need them!) - for reducing the map size under 2 GB (as my nuvi 350 can't read larger images) and sent them to the SD card. Finally, I unlocked the mapssupp.img on the card with Fast Image Unlocker 2.1 ([Only registered and activated users can see links. ]). Again perfect - I have a fully functional and updated gps!
Thank you for all, guys!
Things can be more easy if you just put the allready unlocked 1.96GB created map in SD Garmin folder, than take the UK & RoI unlocked map and put it in Device Garmin folder, in Tools\setting\map\Info select both maps(the 1.96 GB and UK & RoI) and you will have a full Europe coverage, i think is more easy(my opinion![]()
@ kor@l: you're right, this way is so much easier that... I can't believe that I didn't think about it! No excuses for this!
But, on the other hand, I'm happy that I did the harder way because I have learned so much new things! And, of course, because I have the newest maps in MapSource, too. Now, I think it's easy to follow your advice and put the maps of nordic countries (that I excluded from the SD card) on my device to obtain the full Europe coverage. Thanks a lot!

Hi i've got nuvi660 bit oldi but still works ok. On main memory have map CNAuNZ 2012.1 an try to add on SD card CNEu2012.10. Downloaded MapSource unlocked with "unlock_mapset.exe" with no errors all went fine. Created custom map cut out Eastern country and Island so the whole can fit on 2GB card. Took little while to do it , but eventually
success ! All works perfect. So I decided to create full map on 4GB SD card , took little bit longer MapSource program ver. 6.16.1 did not complain said successful transfer to SD card
map are visible in my nuvi under /system/maps/info but can't select any address from this map ? As I said both maps (images) been created from the same ma source one works ok
the other not ? , about 300MB difference in size. Question: what max map size image nuvi 660 can accept ?
