Thread: GMapTool v.0.6.1 - 28.10.2011

The "how to use it'" is pointed to a closed thread of an older version.

I came her after a pointer in a thread on a waterways topo. It's one big .img file. the pointer told me with this app i should be able to make this file visible in mapsource and basecamp. the how to only gives a way to make the map visible in Basecamp and therefor the img file has to be installed on a USB or SD.

This is not what I like. i would like to make these files visible in mapsource and basecamp while being installed on my harddrive in a Garmin directory for planning routes.

does this work with the same method?

Furthermore I have a littel problem with .img directories with multiple img files and supplied reg files. When I place such a directory in the garmin folder (uinlocked with a tool) and then merging the reg file doesn't work. The maps wont show in mapsource or basecamp. I'm ruuning a windows 7 platform. Is there another way to make this work?

-edit- The Furthermore problem is solved by myself with some extensive searching in the forum. The register files deliverd with .img directories is mostly written only for 32-bit operating systems. The register file has to be expanded with two groups espacialy for 64-bit systems for EXAMPLE:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Garmin\Mapsource\Families\FAM_1395]
"TYP"="C:\\Garmin\\FAM_1395\\I0000573.TYP"
"ID"=hex:73,05
"IDX"="C:\\Garmin\\FAM_1395\\product.mdx"
"MDR"="C:\\Garmin\\FAM_1395\\mdrmap.img"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Garmin\Mapsource\Families\FAM_1395\1]
