If the Asian 12xx paths are the same as US/EU 12xx and i think they are, putting the *.JCV file in a sub-folder named JCV of the SD's Garmin folder will work (x:\Garmin\JCV\*.jcv).
Can you or anyone else share the header info from your downloaded map from the Type3 pack or any other for that matter? I haven't had a reply to [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] yet. You can find the header date with [Only registered and activated users can see links. ].

I put the map in SD card under Garmin folder and jcv file in JCV sub-folder. Both map and JCV ppears to work but I had to change the image file to gmapsupp.img. I did this using the MSM 2011 40 map though, not this CN 2011 map.

As for the map header, I just downloaded GMapTool. Had a hard time trying to get to the download link. Had to navigate through a number of advertisement pages. Need to figure out how to use the software and report back.

Is this the info you wanted? I had renamed the map file to locked gmapprom.img


File: D:/My Documents/My GPS/City Navigator 2011 40/MapData/Locked gmapprom.img, length 87736320
Header: 11.01.2012 16:34:38, DSKIMG, XOR 00, V 11.40, Ms 0
Mapset: CN SGM NT 2011.40 ALL

I find that this City Navigator NT 2011.40 map (both img and jcv files) is more than twice the size of the equivalent Malsingmaps NT 2011.40 but the Malsingmaps map seems better. At least for my home area, the Malsingmaps map displays more junction views. Although searching for POIs on this City Navigator map takes much longer time than searching on the Malsingmaps map.

Anybody has the same experience? Any reason for the great difference in map sizes?

City Navigator 85,680 kb for map, 358,046 kb for jcv
Malsingmaps 39,800 kb for map, 167,984 kb for jcv

SD Card, gmapprom.img as name is not recognized.
Btw. would be useful to tell us, which device you are talking about
