Thread: How to get a Bluechart Map in Mapsource

I wanted to install a G2 Vision chart in Mapsource. Followed the instructions, and all seemed to go well as files where created in the new directory I created. But when I doble-click on the install.bat file I get the following error:

================================
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Garmin G2V Chart\Maps for
rce>echo off
-
-
- This batch will install map for Mapsource
-
- Map: "G2 Vision Caribbean"
- FID: 2028
- PID: 0

Compiling preview map.
'cgpsmapper' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
File missing: mapset.img, aborting install.
Press any key to continue . . .
================================

According to the error it appears the cgpsmapper.exe file seems to be missing from the directory. Not sure if I need to get this file somewhere else beforehand and copy it into the directory, or should it been created with the rest of the files.

Also, it seems "File missing: mapset.img" is another problem. All the img files I see in the directory are in "08266869.img" format (8 numbers plus the img extension, 47 files in total), and one "8679424_mdr.img file. Also, there is no "mapset.img" file per se. I only see a mapset.mdx, mapset.mp, and mapset.tdb files (besides the install/uninstall bat files).

Another question is in regards to the "FID" of the map to be entered in the Gmap tool , should I use "2028" as shown in the example, or do I need to look for the number that corresponds to my specific map? If so, how or where can I find this number?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Never mind, I found the missing information here:

Hope this helps others that land on this thread for the same reason I did.

Thank you. I have still a lot to learn, but you have been most helpful.
