I didnt tested it but i just can tell you what replied the original poster Alfred Tester
My Garmin map update is from the 28.4.09 online
The map size is 105 mb
Btw many IMG are searchable and routable like my Italy map
Hope this can help you
CATY, let's clear some issues:

1) A map is searchable ONLY if:
a)it is created by authors as a SINGLE GMAPSUPP.IMG file
b)it is exported from an ORIGINAL Mapsource kit as a SINGLE GMAPSUPP.IMG file also
I can't stress enough how important it is for 'search' feature to have an original Mapsource kit OR gmapsupp.img file

2) A map is ALWAYS NOT searchable (thus not equal to a decent Mapsource version) if it was DECOMPILED from a GMAPSUPP.IMG using tools like GMapTool and cgpsmapper.
Note: a decompiled map is easily recognizable. It is a single folder having the following files inside: install.bat, uninstall.bat, MANY .img files, mapset00.mdx, mapset00.mp, mapset00.tdb. Usually they are unlocked and don't have a preview file.

CONCLUSION: The so-called Mapsource Anavasi maps in this post are ALL from category 2. FAKE Mapsource versions. So Caty, please don't spread anymore INACCURATE info.
