Thread: How to upgrade Garmin map on DNX7200

Do not delete the folders or files, unless you know exactly what it is.
If there is not gmapbmap.img, Copy gmapbmap.img in memory

These three files are base maps "Routable Highway Basemap v3 3:00"

I will delete these map bases and will put the new file. I'll have to rename the Bmap_alt file. If I put up with the name Gmapbmap the GPS does not recognize it.

these maps you must RENAME them as:
Bmap_amr.img --> Bmap_amr.img_old
Bmap_atl.img --> Bmap_atl.img_old
Bmap_amr.img --> Bmap_amr.img_old
so your Kenwood will NOT recognize these img files and not load them (you could delete them, but I prefer to rename, not lose them...)

Then, you put Gmabmap that ORAK gave you! Only that!

After that, you must copy CityNavigator to SD card (if you have last firmware to Kenwood it can recognize 4G card, so you can put Full Europe in SD card) Don't forget to make a folder "Garmin" to SD card and there you put Citynavigator with name gmapsupp.img

JCV files not recognized from Kenwood 7200 not other files that new CityNavigator use... (unless something new came, and 7200 can recognize JCV files....)

You must use ONLY CityNavigator NT (not NTU)

Don't put other maps in the internal memory of your Kenwood, but only basemaps!

CityNavigator you must have only at SD

And the file name? Let it be Gmapbmap or change to another?
Thanks

Use v2.0 (7200 is an old model and I don't know how will responce with newest basemap...)
File name: gmapbmap.img (don't forget to enable at your laptop to see file extentions)

SIZE: 1.9GB

With this map the GPS works perfectly. The problem is that the map is already old.
Why will it work with this map and the other CN NT does not?
I do not know if it helps in something ..

Best regards

If working perfect, maybe changed root properties o some roads from 2012.10 to 2016.10....

I can not do any of that.
Do you know any current map with this peculiarity?
I'm sorry to be boring.
My biggest problem is that the store (representative Kenwood) closer to me, is at a distance of 90Km. I do not even care to spend some money.
The point is that the GPS internal system is all changed, and if I send for the original map, it can not operate.
Once again I apologize for everything ..
Thank you

A friend of mine who has 7200, use allways map which has made from Mapinstall and works perfect!
