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

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

Hmm the difference between w Europe 2.7 and usa 2.7 app... I went and installed 2.7 USA version although living in Europe don't exactly need it just to see will it work or not and surprise surprise I does no problem at all,after installation it gives you exactly the same options as W.Europe to download necessary files for app to work and choice of maps that you want to install

Saqip, I can also confirm that Garmin StreetPilot 2.7 works for me on my jailbroken iPhone 4, however I have the USA version but need to install North America or Canada.

This is where the problems start as the map structures are somehow changed and Garmin does not recognize gmapprom.img / gmapsupp.img even if I put them in /Documents/ , /Library/sdcard/Garmin/Map etc. (for sure the permissions are mobile:mobile with rwx, r, r - so that is not the problem)
So is there anybody who have managed to install additional maps as I do not want to buy two garmin apps just for my one time travelling to Canada?

Oh, and I have the lates LEGAL map of 2015.10 just received on my garmin device but it has a power problem so it works only connected to my pc and for map downloading.

Please help as I know the answer is somewhere there but where to look at least - now that is the question
