I joined several maps from different IMG files into a single IMG file and... lost address search. Routing works fine, even searching for crossings and city districts work well. When doing an address search I only see countries from a single IMG file, other countries, actual for maps extracted from other IMG files, are no longer available. Could somebody please explain what was wrong in what I did?

I had the following set:

  • Garmin City Navigator Europe 2011.32 NT (Setup with MapSource);
  • Garmin CityXplorer Helsinki 2011.10 - IMG
  • Garmin CityXplorer Moscow 2011.10 - IMG
  • Garmin CityXplorer St. Petersburg 2011.10 - IMG
  • Garmin City Navigator Russia NT 2011.40 - IMG
  • Garmin Roads of Russia 5.21- IMG
  • Garmin Roads of Russia Topo 6.08 - IMG
  • Garmin Basemap for Mobile XT - IMG (downloaded from here _http://www.garmin.ru/GarminMobileXTFull.exe)


I extracted everything with GMapTool as a mapset for MapSource.
Selected necessary regions from each of the map using the MapSource.
Created a single new IMG file incorporating all the selected regions.

The problem is: when doing address search I have Garmin Mobile XT providing only the countries available in the City Navigator Europe 2011.32 NT product. Why is that?

I also understand that I was wrong to include CityXplorer maps (because they are not necessary when I have Garmin City Navigator Russia NT and City Navigator Europe) but still... It is also it is probably wasn't a good idea to export the basemap and then export it back into the IMG as a separate map (instead of leaving it as-is as a separate IMG file).

BTW, Caty from the link you gave me ([Only registered and activated users can see links. ]) I understood that all the basemap does is it provides for easy scaling from the bird's eye view to larger zoom. However, with MapsetToolkit I see that the basemap's mapset is routable and so is the Garmin City Navigator Europe 2011.32 NT. All other mapsets are non-routable. Why is that? Is it because I incorrectly imported maps from their IMG files into mapsets using the GMapTool?

Thank you all in advance and pleas excuse me I somehow abused forum's rules.
