Thread: Garmin Lakes (17,000 freshwater lakes in U.S.)

Newbie here... followed the directions precisely (or so I thought). Downloaded, unlocked, moved .img file to the Garmin dir of my GPS with all of my other .img files, but when I go to enable/disable the map it's not there on the list. All the other maps I have are there though. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Edit:
I have the 62s and left the file name as is: US_GarminLakes_Full.img. I also tried to rename it to GarminLakes, but that still didn't work

How many maps do you have stored in your GPSmap 62s?
There's limits of the number of MapIDs (approx. max up to 18) and map tiles that can be used.

If you have a problem with unlocking the map then you should see a message about that while the unit boots.

Hi Ballebar.

I never knew about the limitation on the number of ID's on the Garmins.

Does it apply equally for all the Garmin units, or does it vary from model to model ?

I have several, but mostly ask about the Handheld units.. Montana 650, 76CSx, 62st, 78sc, 450t.

Thanks

Yeah, I'd like to know more about these limitations as well.... and BTW, thanks guys for helping me out. I've almost got my GPS just the way I want it.
