Thread: Garmin city navigator Australia 2009 NT & New Zealand 2008 (IMG COMBINED - UNLOCKED)

Cant u put it on sum gud servers like rapidshare? So that every1 can download

OK, so I've got a really stupid question....

I've downloaded both parts, unrar'd them and now I have a gmapsupp.img file thats about 143meg in size.

Now what???

I've tried burning this image to a CD but when I put the CD in the drive (once the burn is finished) it does nothing. I browse the CD and there's nothing there, even thought Nero says that it's burnt it successfully....

I've installed previous Garmin versions (as fiddly as they are) with no problems, but this first step has me stuffed.

Any ideas?

Oh my god.... I didn't realise that it was that simple !!

So, seems these files are already unlocked I just dump them in the the Garmin directory on the phone and go from there..

Well I'll be.. lol

Thanks

So is this the correct procedure?

I already have a gmapsupp in my Garmin folder which works fine. Garmin and the mapping works perfectly, I only want to add this one as the maps are meant to be more up to date.

Can someone please explain the procedure?

I also have sw.unl and gmapsupp.unl which was needed when I unlocked the old map IIRC. Do I keep them or delete the lot and just add this new gmapsupp file?

Thank you for the help. I don't want to stuff my perfectly working XT if possible ao any info appreciated....

Call the .UNL files the same e.g "GMAPSUP2.UNL" and have the corresponding map unlock code in there.
Dump all in "E:\Garmin\" and it should work fine

Okay thanks. I will try that.

Just another thing if I may - since the map you posted at the start of this thread is "unlocked" and you mention there is no need for MAPID/.UNL can I just name that file "GMAPSUP1.IMG" and drop it in the Garmin folder as you mentioned?

Also is that naming correct - "GMAPSUP1.IMG" as opposed to "GMAPSUPP1.IMG" ie only one "P" in the name, not 2 "P"s with the number "1" added after it?

Thanks for your help.

Sorry to be a pest....

I renamed the file you posted in the OP GMAPSUP1 and placed it in my garmin folder along with my original map img named GMAPSUPP.

When I go into Garmin XT on my phone and nav to "tools", "manage my data", "map sets" "Detailed maps e:\GARMIN\ it is only showing my original City Navigator Australia 2008 map there.

What am I doing wrong? DO I need to delete the old map and add the new one? Or do i still need a .UNL file for the new map as well?

Sorry for all this hassle....

Many thanks in advance - will download asap. Cheers
