I don't thing it's because of NT or non-NT format. Probably your GPS needs see maps, like blue charts. You can experiment with gmaptool. Load img to gmaptool, set advanced and experimental options, go to write tab and try to set TRE parameters to 0-4-23-empty. No guarantee, I can't check it.

If you are creating your own maps with cgpsmapper, then try option MARINE=X in [IMG ID] section.

There is possibility to change map into quasi-NT format with gmaptool, see join tab with experimental option set. But I doubt whether this solves your problem.

hm, i am not sure. i was trying to use "normal" blucharts from mapsource, but the unit is displaying: "map format not supported". what i know the difference between "normal" and g2 bluecharts is that the g2 are in NT format.

g2 probably are mixed, part is in NT format, rest in non-NT. You can try TRE parameters 0-6-31-empty or 0-6-32-empty, these values come from g2 vision.

thanks! changing TRE parameters helped a lot! now i can open old files in my unit! there is mismatch with some of the points but i will work on it!

I am creating my own maps, but how exactly i shall use the option MARINE=X in [IMG ID] section? in gpsmapedit there is only path to cgpsmapper. how can i set option MARINE=X in [IMG ID] section?

In MapEdit menu: File -> Map Properties -> Extras -> Add and insert Key: MARINE, Value: X
You can try also to input value B instead of X, see cgpsmapper manual.

@persep
on sd just one gmapsupp.img is supported and must be in a folder named Garmin
you can merge 2 maps with gmaptool

sorry but mapedit doesn't support NT files, there is no way to edit it.
With open source map project the best way is to support project and send them corrections so they can do it for all the users.
you can run bluechart maps on mobile xt but you'll lose some features that can be seen with just marine devices
