Thread: Post here please your help request regarding Garmin

hi, if i convert an .img file using the GMapTool and load it in mapsource, is that a fully functional mapset? In other words, if I can select maps, transfer them and search for pois, does that make it ok? I mean, I have not found any difference in sucha a map (compared to the "original" img) but I've red in some places that the generated mapsource files are not always good or lose some functionalities, is that true?

thanks

PS this is a double post, I posted first in another category, sorry for that

Hi,

As I am a newbie at Mapsource I would need some help.
1. I have downloaded the 5 files for Swedish Friluftskartan, but all 5 have all families in them (543, 563-571. What would be the difference and how do I go about with these?
Which one(s) to install for which function?
2. Using 1 (of 5) files and the REG-file all images are registered under different (10) OMR (Omrade) directories.
How can I register them all under "Sweden" or at least the different "Friluftskarta packages" as happens with other Map-packages?
I feel a little dumb, asking all these questions....
Thanks in advance!

Hans

Catymag,

If I look at the 5 files, they have all the same family-images, it seems,
Do you know what the differences are? Why are there 5 of them? I have never seen this before.
So I should create 5 directories under C:\Garmin and register each directory?
Thanks in advance for your help!
