OK I tested this now on a ASUS 8" Tablet Android 6 and all the menus are OK.

File layout is the same for most Garmin units.

After you install the app the Garmin folder is made. (you do not have to make one)
Just start any of the apps and the folder is made.
Any map img files you put in goes under the Garmin folder.
Be it gmapprom.img , gmapsupp.img names.
Note if you are using any official Garmin's maps you will need the unlock key file also.
Be it gmapprom.unl or gmapsupp.unl
They go in the Garmin folder too.

Open street maps do not need a unlock key file.

Then you add a GPX folder under the Garmin folder for any tracks you have or Geocaches.

You will need to start those apps so the files show up on the map you use.

I have put POI file under garmin .but the icons of speed cam and traffic lights not shown on the map.Also How I can change the language of street names in the map to Arabic .Meanwhile every thing is working with arabic language except the street names inside the map in english

I would think you would need a folder called POI under Garmin folder if it will work.

This unit was made to Hiking and Biking so the chances POI work you will have to test.

You can even add the folder Vehicle with all the Icons and that works too.

You need to open the Settings Icon to change and setting.

Hello.
I downloaded the Garmin Outdoor Apps HUAWEI Mate 20 Pro Android 10 EMUI 10.1.0
The application loads ok
maps unlocked.
Nowhere do I see the maps I uploaded to the GARMIN folder
Maps were gmap3d.img, gmapprom.img and gmaptz.img
I didn’t try other options.
poi and cameras
if anyone has a solution let them write it to display maps

There is new "settings" app that gets installed when you install the apk. The icon has a checkbox for car and truck.
Open that app (Settings) and go to > Map Settings > Map Information to see if the maps are enabled are not.
Maps should be loaded automatically.

If the maps are present and enabled there and if you still can't see them on the map screen, then go to normal android settings and then apps, search for "garmin" and then select GOA app, then select "stop app".

Not see any map.

**peterstthere** · 17th November 2020, 02:34 AM

make new map with the name CutemMaps and put the lmg files in there

**asprin624** · 17th November 2020, 09:15 AM

Just use routable open street maps they are free no need to make maps.

Download the map or maps and put it in the \Garmin <--------folder
Then go to the settings app:
:Map Settings
:Map Infomation
And turn on the map or maps you installed.

If you are using official Garmin maps like the City Navigator Europe NT map you will need the unlock file also.

Spoiler: Free routable open maps

hello.
I have downloaded City Navigator Europe NTU maps but I don't see the maps even though they are unlocked. I see an ADRIA route 4.20 NT map that is 200 mb in size. Other cards are more 2.1GB
I also see the Europe DEN maps.
the voice works, the vehicle can be selected.

Maybe problem NTU or NT maps.
Yes problem is not have UnicodeMaps[/B] in datotech GarminDevice.xml (unicodemaps for NTU maps)
