Best not lecture me on helping others and how this community works before you check my other posts. HE had an OBLIGATION to check he was posting in the right thread and he didn't, this thread is named 'How to install any Garmin map on Iphone Garmin StreetPilot'. I made reference in more than one post to the app in post #1. He remained silent as to what he was working with, had he said straight up that he had an different app dl from elsewhere i would not even had tried to help him, but only simply because i couldn't. I wasted time on him that i could have spent helping others. Are we supposed to be psychic? No... but you had the advantage of just having loaded the other app yourself on the same day you replied to him. I gave you credit for that, even though both he and you were OT as it turned out. This continues to be OT so if you or he wish to take it further then PM me.

@Neil

I was not lecturing you but since you are using that tone let me say:

We are not off topic.

The 1st version of Garmin StreetPilot when released on the iPhone was using online maps without maps stored on the phone.
The 2nd version of Garmin StreetPilot was with maps stored on the phone - this is the normal StreetPilot version on all other garmin devices.

Because this was confusing, Garmin stopped using the word StreetPilot for the 2nd version.

Therefore for all devices (Nuvi, 34xx, 5800, etc) the program is known as Garmin StreetPilot except for the iPhone which it is only known as “Garmin”.

The reason @Checksum47 did not recognize the folder structure is because he is not using iExplorer

The actual folder is /var/mobile/Applications/???numbers???/garmin-nav.app/storage-usa/.System

But iExplorer will actually display a simplified structure which is Apps/USA/garmin-nav.app/storage-usa/.System making @Checksum47 confused as he could not find a USA folder.

By the way, the topic title is wrong because everyone from the 1st post is talking about “How to install any Garmin map on Iphone”. Not Garmin StreetPilot,. The title must have been made before Garmin dropped the StreetPilot word.

You may know more about Garmin but your instructions are not clear and I am wondering how many people you actually helped. At least I have helped one. That may be more than you have helped after yr 900+ posts.
