2. I said to delete the gmapprom. You recommended to unlock the map. The reason i said to delete it is because the map is outdated. But u wouldnt know that because u dont have an iphone.
3. I said not to download the mapsource version. U explained how to use the mapsource version. To iPhone users, they are not concerned about how to use the mapsource version. They just want it to work. I pointed out d fastest way.

@trav7414 thanked us both but why don't u ask @trav7414 which method he used?

Well I used your method but @Neil detail descriptions give me more understanding why I have to delete or kept what file, so both you guys help me . Are you guys fighting against each other to see who's better? Well both of you really help everyone of us a lot. Without your guy's help we won't get anything working right Thanks again and stop arguing

Where do you put the Cyclops files and do they actually work on garmin iPhone please if anyone knows for sure !!!

I'll probably get caned for this if it doesn't work. I don't have access phone at the moment so i can't check it, but there was been some cover on POIs earlier in the thread, [Only registered and activated users can see links. ], culminating in [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] which states that this works:
/ var / mobile / aplications /,, xxxxxxxxxxxx,, / Library / sdcard / garmin / POI (the xxx are letters and numbers)

If that doesn't work, put the *.gpi files into the directory "............/ Library / sdcard / POI".

You will have to create the POI sub-folder in either case. Post #1 displays a different file structure in some members' experience.

If it works, you should be able to search for a point of interest from "Where to" menu> to find them, but maybe won't find them from the "Points of Interest" menu, or display any sort of custom poi categories. That is you have to know for what you are searching.

Another one of my 'shots in the dark' i'm afraid. Please report back if you get it to work.

@myshadow
Is your map named gmapprom.img and is it unlocked? If you are not sure if it's locked or not, just run [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] on it. As far as the app in Post #1 of this thread is concerned, the right place for the map is .System folder. There should also be a basemap in the .System folder name gmapbmap.img.

Your english is fine

@myshadow you downloaded the wrong program.

Delete it.

Search for "Garmin" in installous.

Select Garmin USA. (Not StreetPilot)

@Neil couldnt help u because he is a dinasour using a Nokia. He is hanging out in the iPhone section to try to hang with the cooler guys.

Touche! Let's get back to cookin' cures not curses you say, jamie oliver?
....ooo00ooo....
To you both, thanks for pouring oil on troubled waters. However, my last salvo to omcx123 was already made above your posts. I had decided to both, not make, or respond to, any further taunts in any case and i hope this is the end of it. I will of course continue to correct any incorrect/inaccurate/misleading/incomplete posting by anyone, as i'm sure both of you, omcx123 and any other member in a position to do so would and should.
....ooo00ooo....
To omcx123, best to just agree that you know more about iphone/iOS and that i probably know more about garmin. If you don't agree with that.... then let's just agree to disagree and get back to work. Cheers
