Thread: Post here please your help request regarding Garmin

Hi Gary,

I absolutely agree with You, but their primary occupation is how to earn more money and selling new units is one way.

That's why I'm preparing list of latest Non NT maps that could be used in units which don't support NT maps but many people are using this units.

List should be completed (most of it) in few days and should be part of already existing map index.

The new NT map format will no longer work on the 2610. What a stupid thing for Garmin to do. What were they thinking about? These units were sold until just recently in Thailand for 39,000 Thai baht, more than $1,200 US dollars. I didn't buy mine in Thailand but the people that did must be absolutely furious.

Nt maps are compressed and some gps can't process NT maps
The device itself "decompress" the image parts, that it can display the streets and informations.
An older device cannot decompress these parts anymore fast enough.
you can use reverse converter
MapReverseConverter (MapSource 6.13.7 included) all languages here

gotaland----------------------- id=798
mellersta och sodra morrlad id=796
norra norrlad ------------------id=779
svealad ------------------------id=797

mapsource will install it either into a sd card or your gps main memory

use mapsource to merge the maps

when you select a map group (gotaland) and its all yellow and in the left hand box---
then select the other 3 the same way---untill you see 100 maps 1265.8 in the lower left box--then export to your sd card.

europe maps will need to be deselected when you view these maps--an autoroute will overlay a map covering the same area.

I posted these ones

Just place both files on the same folder?
I have available also a 2Gb SD card if it's the case.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Use unlocked IMGs ,it's easier and u dont need mapsource
Put the first on in the gps receiver rename the first map gmapprom.img

backup your old map and substitute it
put the second one, always an unlocked img file ,in your sd, rename the file gmapsupp.img and put it in a folder named Garmin
