Thread: How to install any Garmin map on Iphone Garmin StreetPilot

Example /etc/hosts file (partial-includes just the Garmin stuff):

127.0.0.1

Code:

127.0.0.1 gold.garmin.com (if this is the very last line in your /etc/hosts file, make sure you do not hit the Enter key or otherwise insert a Carriage return at the end of this line)

or

127.0.0.1

Code:

Please Login or Register to see the links

127.0.0.1 gold.garmin.com
#127.0.0.1 downloadg.garmin.com
#127.0.0.1 triplew.garmin.com
#127.0.0.1 bronze.garmin.com
#127.0.0.1 silver.garmin.com
# (this is the very last line in the /etc/hosts file--do not hit the Enter key after typing this line)


Also make sure you have the right settings in the required plist files (see elsewhere in this thread for which plist files need to be modified).

Hey Tonytone so now this is how I have the hosts:

127.0.0.1 gold.garmin.com
#127.0.0.1 downloadg.garmin.com
#127.0.0.1 triplew.garmin.com
#127.0.0.1 bronze.garmin.com
#127.0.0.1 silver.garmin.com

all the .plist files have been modified with the ones you uploaded before.. Still no google search or weather or traffic. I did not hit enter or anything as you said...
thanks again,
Any ideas...?

angelsinojos--what Garmin app version are you running? Also, did you double-check file ownership and permissions on those plist files? They need to be set to owner "mobile" and permissions "rwxr-xr-x".

I'm taking a real wild guess here but...the TargetConfig.plist file I uploaded was taken from the Garmin USA app and as such, is configured to locate the "storage-usa" directory; if the Garmin app you downloaded was for something other than USA (e.g., Garmin North America, Garmin Europe), then it might be possible that it may get confused with my TargetConfig.plist file.

Hey Tonytone, I have the Garmin USA v 2.2, all maps and imgs are 2013.40, I have set the permissions to all those files like that before and the hosts are as I wrote before. I am going to check the target .plist file again to see. Everything works fine, is just that google search is a very good option to have considering somethings don't appear in the gps search, actually sometimes a lot of things... any other thoughts?

Do some of the other stuff like 3D buildings work and GPS Simulator work? If so, then at least I know the plist files I have available for download don't appear to be corrupt. I still think something's just not quite right with your /etc/hosts file; that, or do you have some other firewall program installed on your iPhone that might be blocking those other Garmin hostnames?

How can i add my map in to 2.4 Western Europe garmin app??
thx

Hey Tonytone, yes, 3d buildings work just fine, and the simulator works perfect as well.. also the JCV full screen excellent.

Funny as to what additional stuff you can find once you enable the Extras menu and actually download something from it--for grins I took a look at the com.garmin.onboard.com.Usa.plist...lo and behold, it listed the actual filename of the terrain file (aka, Panorama View 3D)--it's gmapdem.img. Thanks to those folks who provided links to download it--I was able to install it and voila:
