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

Hi - first post. I am from the US and have just purchased the current version (2.7) of StreetPilot Western Europe in preparation for a trip. I would like to install a small topo map of my area in the US. This is an unlocked, non-routable map that I created myself with cgpsmapper. I only want it to appear as a moving map on the screen, I don't need routing, search, traffic, etc. The same map works fine on my Nuvi 3590.

My phone is running iOS 7 and is NOT jailbroken. Using iExplorer, i can mount the sdcard directory on my Mac (OSX 10.8.) and see the following directories in Terminal

drwxrwxrwx 3 staff 0 Feb 18 14:06 Garmin
drwxrwxrwx 2 staff 0 Feb 17 15:28 MapUnlock

I copied my gmapsupp.img file to the Garmin folder, but it is not recognized there - here are the contents (I have done the in-app purchase of 3d terrain)

drwxrwxrwx 2 staff 0 Feb 17 14:34 Diag
-rw-rw-rw- 1 staff 738312192 Feb 17 17:40 gmap3d.img
-rw-rw-rw- 1 staff 317841408 Feb 18 13:41 gmapdem.img
-rw-rw-rw- 1 staff 73375744 Feb 18 13:55 gmapsupp.img

I also tried creating a folder named Map in the sdcard directory and copied the gmapsupp.img file there but still no luck. How can I make this work? Seems like jailbreaking should not be required as I am running a legitimate version of StreetPilot and can access the filesystem with iExplorer. Is this a permissions problem maybe?

Thanks!

I also tried the samething as you are doing.

I have my ipad mini non~jailbreak, legal version of streetpilot NA, tried to add topo maps that is unlocked.

The topo map cannot be recognised by SP.
