That's fair comment if the correct interpretation of zakon's posts is that he's not having problems installing in MapSource because of using that workaround, but i think he means he's not having problems using an image in his unit which has been generated by MS, and he's asking what are the reported problems with images made with MS. If so, the short answer is MS is old and unsupported and simply does not handle large modern NT gmap folders very well. Those are meant to be used with BaseCamp & MapInstall exclusively for image compilation. There are differences in the way that MS & MI compile images, which can be seen in the resultant slight size differences to put it in the simplest terms. Any further in-depth examination of this 'problem' is off-topic however, and users need to simply forget using MS for compiling images of modern NT maps and just use MI instead. That advice is coming from me as a user who would prefer to keep using MS over MI. The problems may never surface or they may crash your unit during peak-hour in some large foreign city.

Exactly! I would continue to used MS.

hey guys!
thanks for you hard work!! i really appreciate it!

Here's the thing:
I created an image with mapinstall (Macintosh version) and copied it on the SD-card(Garmin folder). But the map doesn't show up in basecamp?!? So i made some research an nailed it down to "setting the MS (Mapsource) flag"?? with gmaptool!! is this the right solution?

gmaptool - tab WRITE - "check" set version in header - MS "0" - save with "write selected"???

thx in advance!

Yes, as a check of the [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] will show, [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] can change the MS Flag. Also, [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] can be used to set the flag to '0' [zero] so it can then be seen in BaseCamp. Any image compiled by MapSource or MapInstall will have a default MS Flag of '1' which makes it invisible to BC.

Don't forget Javawa tools ;)

Why is it showing 2 updates ?
Is this correct ?

That's because he's chosen to install the gmap folder to his PC as well as the img to the device.

One update is for device and other is for install to Pc ;)

I learn something new every day here at noemans.
In GarminMapUpdater.exe it only shows one update no matter what you choose.
Which one is the device ? The top one or the Bottom one. ?

The top "Full Coverage ...." is the device img, the lower "nuMaps Lifetime ....." is the PC gmap folder. Somewhat counter-intuitive, but that's what it is. GE still annoys me slightly ....... ;)

gentlemen, there is already a version available where the search function works.
in MS and BC I can't search cities and waypoints.

gr, gert
