MAC OS X - INSTALLING MAPS

If you have a map in gmap format (can be frequently found in this forum), it can easily be installed into your MAC OS X software - just click the .gmap icon, it will install into RoadTrip, where you can browse it or transfer it to your Garmin device throught MapInstall.

Prerequisite is the Garmin software for mac, which can be freely downloaded grom Garmin site.

Maps are installed by copying the GMAP folder into location: user/Library/Aplication Support/Garmin/Maps

If you wish to have maps on some other drive, you can make a symbolic link: open terminal and type: ln -s [target gmap file] [map folder location] . This can be easiliy done just by dragging targeted files and folder into terminal window.
