Thread: TOPO Sweden v4 PRO

What name did you give the new (v4) file?
What was the name of the v3 file(s)?
Did you possibly overwrite the old files?

I named the Topo Gotaland v4>>Götalandv4.img.
All v3 maps have unique names, no map is called gmapsupp.
No overwriting is done.
If I change file name of Götalandv4.img to Götalandv4.imgX, all v3 maps will reappear.
I have a lot of other mapfiles in a separate slash folder within Garmin folder. They are all X-ed out (.imgX) and shouldn't disturbe operation. At least it has been no problem pre Gota v4 install.

I believe the issue with Topo Norway Experience PRO is slightly different. With all 10 regions of that map family together, regions 2 to 10 will be suppressed by region 1 (Sørvest). Removing region 1 will turn regions 2 to 10 visible again.

With Topo Sweden v4 PRO, all 4 regions of this map family together does not affect visibility of any of the four regions. But apparently it suppresses the visibility of the v3 map files.

I named the Topo Gotaland v4>>Götalandv4.img.

Never use the letters åäö in file names. Try just to change the ö to o and maybe that will solve your problem.
Could it be the same problem with Topo Norway maps?

Can not be the case, I have tried different combinations. Once I even named Gotalandv4>> "gmapsupp.img". That didn't change anything.
It is not a big problem for me, since v4 probably is better than v3.
Version 2 (combined in one file) and v1 is still possible to use as alternatives.

Check your GPS (SD card inserted) with JaVaWa Device Manager, it is quite good in finding map-conflicts.

Actually I would delete all old maps and only use v4, do you think v3 is better?

My experience is the same doesnt matter what the file name is. I use StreetPilot Android.

I let Javawa investigate the SD-card. What differs about the Gotalandv4 is, that it has a sign for "Read only". Then there is a message in Info section:
"A read-only IMG file usually is a pre-installed map on SD. Do not remove this!".
Part from my old Gotaland v1, the rest of the maps do not have this sign/text/warning.
