Thread: Zumo mapping naming

You should download the Mapsource version and send the map parts you want from Mapsource to your gps.

Zumo mapping naming:
Internal memory (4 IMGs are supported) :
gmapprom.img
gmapprom1.img
gmapsupp.img
gmapoem.img
SD (just one gmapsupp is supported):
gmapsupp.img

On the Zumo 660 the file gmapsup2.img doesn't work.

Since I don't need my Garmin US map I tried a few more things to load 2 separate maps. With the OSM map as gmapsupp.img I want to load Malsingmaps as secondary.

Malsing as gmapprom.img allowed me to select it, but then it wouldn't allow me to de-select it. No good, since the two overlap. On the display Malsing blocked out OSM in the border area.

Next, I tried Malsing as gmapoem. Similar, except there is no checkbox next to Malsing and OSM could not be de-selected any more, either.


I will need to fall back to the Mapsource method.

Regards,
Peter.

On Zumo 660 only gmapsup1.img is available in addition on new SW what support 2 map on SD. No gmapsup2.img is on Garmin device!

I believe Caty's post #1 is still correct and I didn't think gmapsup1.img was made available on sd card by any recent fw, and so still only gmasupp.img in sd Garmin folder for zumos including 660.

@Beddhist
Easy way to check what map name/paths are available, look at your Inventory page and compare to what's posted by fiat_lux for his 550 in the post above yours to get the correct map naming conventions. If gmapsup2.img doesn't work, try gmapprom1.img.

Zumo 660 recognize:

gmapsupp.img
gmapsup1.img
gmapprom.img
gmapprom1.img

Beddhist - gmapprom1.img is not for you only. It is from software source and must work on all version in Nuvi together with gmapsupp.img and gmapprom.img!

On SD only gmapsupp.img and gmapsup1.img will work from 4.70 version.

If it is not so you do something wrong. Or may be conflict with map and you need to try rename the extension (img to bak for example) of map one by one for finding this error. I often did it successful on new SW with support 2 map on SD. Good luck!

I can't see that this unit supports 2 images on SD at present. I'm quite certain it didn't when first released and there is nothing in the change history since.

Garmin do many changes in the quiet mode and it not advertise many changes! I wrote script for extract all supported files and directory from SW. It was very popular for me especially for catching innovation of GMA signature in SW at the time Also it is useful for me than I can see new text variables and change gtt or glx file to according with new strings. My users are very quarrelsome and without delay they throw a can of pot roast in me if something is wrong
In the report for version 4.70 have gmapsup1.img in SW but for 4.50 do not have yet. You can check it yourself with text viewer and searching in Unicode.
