#Using garmin mapinstall install

On my end I'm running the latest version of Win 10 (3), installing on a Garmin OR-700 SW v4.40, using latest Mapinstall v4.2.0, last Mapsource v6.16. Thanks be to Mapsource again, but I wonder if Garmin changed the code in the MapInstall proggie to cripple the detail level of the compiled img file of the target 3rd-party maps? Has this been discussed previously? Anyone else encounter this?

#Using garmin mapinstall install

Basecamp version and thereafter cannot install existing (and new) maps (completely visible in basecamp) via Basecamp Mapinstall on the Garmin Etrex30. Then put the microSD into the device, its safer. All the maps above installed including the OSMs, as separate compiled img files.and they all have the full detail levels. I like to put map.img s into a Garmin folder in the micro SD using a card reader. Now rename the gmapsupp.img file to something more memorable, retaining the. That’s the supplemental map you just transferred. Now use your file explorer and go into the Garmin drive, then into the Garmin folder, and find the gmapsupp.img file, as shown below. Thats very useful as it enables me to easily set up both my Zumos the same way and delete and reinstall the same map sets time and again. Solution: used compiler/installer in last version of Mapsource, v6.16.2. Choose a map and transfer a set of map tiles to the device. gdp file and use it again and again to transfer the same set of maps to the Zumos internal memory or SD card. The compiling time was very short, and the resulting map img files seemed about a 1/3 size of what they were.Įven Garmin's (legacy) TOPO US 2008 and Metroguide v8 were crippled and lacked/missing detail. Tried to reinstall the 3rd-party GPSFileDepot maps with Mapinstall, and the compiled maps lacked detail, and were very crude.no topo line, missing highways, crude shaped reservoirs, etc.

I installed some OSM topo routable maps, and deleted some existing 3rd party maps from GPSFileDepot in the process. Anyone else have a problem with the latest version of Garmin's MapInstall, crippling and corrupting the compiled img file on the target device (uSD card)?
