**chinnachot** · 5th January 2014, 03:05 AM

first add map by open ipa file with 7zip and add in System install ipa

next step

1. for 2.3 na after add your map in System

need block file by edit word in hosts file like this
##
# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
fe80::1%lo0 localhost
127.0.0.1 iphonesubmissions.apple.com

2. for 2.3 EU
block by Firewall IP

but since 2.4 version I don't know how to add other map

Can anyone tell how to add Topo unlocked maps into Streetpilot without jailbreak?

If your iDevice isn't jailbroken, you can't add additonal maps as you can't access the 'filesystem'.

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.

Maybe not .. after 2.3 version any new cant work with custom map
No chance to make it work .. app delete all custom map and try to download his own map .. try to rename img, to change it .. no luck

For that use 2.3 with jailbreak and be happy

Hello.
Recently there was a program shell Garmin Hud +

Code:

Please Login or Register to see the links

Who has the opportunity to check whether the program will read the aftermarket card format .img?
But to run the program requires a Garmin Hud.
In Russia this device is not available, so I can not verify it works.

has anyone had the chance to work with new 2.7 version of garmin app for iphone?
im running it without any trouble. i also downloaded the 2014.30 version of usa maps and works great. what i havent been able to do is to install a different set of maps by putting them on the app folder.

Unless you paid for the app, 2.7 wont work

don't say it wont or will work until you try,i can confirm that 2.7 works fine without any problems with all western Europe map,tz,3d,jcv (not sure about non jailbroken phones though) all you have to do is edit host file-delete any garmin entries,what I am still not able to do is install custom maps and cant get around it since I want eastern Europe maps as well

OP's question was about the USA maps. 2.7 version doesn't work even on JB'ed iphones
