Bye,bye

Best option IMHO is to download Gmap folder from post n1 and build the map you need in Mapsource.
Read how to here:

Your 265W cannot use gmap3d.img so don't bother with it. You could put all of NA on an SD card in a root folder named Garmin. You can have 2 maps in there, named gmapsupp.img and gmapsup1.img. Pietu in Post #2 has separate images for Lower 49 and Canada with US Border States. Good advice from catymag, you can also do a single *.img file for just US & CA from a gmap folder using Mapsource or BaseCamp/MapInstall but maybe easier for you to use the 2 ready-made images in the SD.
As well as looking at [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] as Caty said, you can see lots more here: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ].

In reverse order:
Does your 265w have the original OEM maps on internal memory? If so, I'm not sure why a 3d map is present unless it was added later:

Code:

Please Login or Register to see the links

It can't see 3d terrain or buildings/landmarks. Remove that map.

If the gmapprom.img is OEM or official you could back it up (along with any associated gmapprom.unl file if present) and then remove from the unit. My preference is to leave oem/official maps on the unit, but deselect them, and have current 'unofficial' maps on sd, not on the unit. If the gmapprom is 'unofficial' just delete. Don't remove gmapbmap (basemap) or tmaptz (time zone) image files. The advantage of putting unofficial maps on sd is that if something goes wrong with them or they cause problems with the functioning of the unit, you just take the card out. Don't have maps of different versions covering the same areas selected together or you'll have possible problems. Overlapping maps of the same version are fine select together.

Not quite sure what you mean 'are the southern States covered in the [lower]49 States map'? Unless the Civil War is still active in the Deep South (OK, of course it is), the lower 49 included them. And the Southern Sates & Mexico means what it says: have a look at the coverage maps in pietu post #2:




EDIT: I forgot this question: 'is mapsource the only way to combine or edit the map?', but it's actually sorta covered in my earlier reply. You can also use BaseCamp/MapInstall to select parts of a map from a gmap folder to send to unit or sd, and also to combine maps to send.

thx~

If you mean you can't see the dl links, refer to caymag's post above yours. If you don't know how to dl, see [Only registered and activated users can see links. ].

Is there anyway to have GarminExpress to show I already have 2013.30 map? Currently it say one update found which is 2013.30. O already had 2013.30 from here. thx
