The Tools required is baked in with this release. You can for exempel import not yet released mapproducts to Mapsource like City Navigator Europe NT 2008 from a gmapsupp.img file. This is not a perfect solution but it works. Somehow =) You need some tools to get the work done. Look for cgpsmapper, MapSetToolKit and GmapTool. Unpack and install all this tools. Cgpsmapper and GmapTool are command line programs, you need to start them from command line window or from any Norton Commander clone like Total Commander. I assume that you have Mapsource installed and that your GPS with preinstalled maps is recognised by Windows as a removable drive, for example as drive I: Begin with creating an empty directory for your map. Put cgpsmapper and gmaptool in this directory and make it current work directory for subsequent commands. Unpack your map with gmaptool: >gmaptool -S I:garmingmapprom.img You will get several different files in your work directory. These are maps and additional files for Mapsource. You need to compile preview map: >cgpsmapper mapset00.mp Now you can use MapSetToolKit. Start it and choose "Install A Existing Mapset". You have to point to tdb file mapset00.tdb, preview file mapset00.img and invent a registry name. Install and your map should be visible in Mapsource. You have to unlock map in Mapsource. Simply input 25-character unlock code from your device. This can be found on papers attached to your GPS, on mygarmin.com after registration, in file garminGarminDevice.xml or garmingmapprom.unl or in a file gmaptool00.unl in map directory on your PC. And as usually: no guarantee, Mapsource may crash, use at your own risk and responsibility. If Mapsource crashes use MapSetToolKit to remove new map. ____________________________________________________________________________________

In the last post, OpenStreetMap data was converted to a Garmin .img map file, which can be directly uploaded to a Garmin GPS unit using SendMap or MapUpload software. But its more convenient to use the MapSource software that comes with most Garmin GPS units to do this, since you can preview the map data in that program, and create/upload multiple maps and mapsets easily. The best program Ive found to do this is MapSet Toolkit; youll also need the map compiling program cgpsmapper, free for creating basic maps for personal use. Using the process in the previous post, I downloaded some street data for London, and converted it to a Garmin .img file. I then used the following steps to add the .img file to MapSource: 1. Created a subdirectory in my C:\Garmin directory called London, and copied my 63240001.img file there. Note: MapSet Toolkit will only recognize .img files with a numerical filename. If you rename the file with a non-numerical name, it wont show up. 2. In Mapset Toolkit, chose that file with Select IMG files. 3. Highlighted that file, and Added it to the selected IMG files. You can add multiple .img files as part of a single set of files. 4.Chose the same directory that contained the .img file as the Mapset directory to be used

5. Assigned a name to the mapset, London 6. Chose a 4-digit Product Code number (8765 in this example); the only limitation is that it not conflict with any other product codes (which are displayed in the Uninstall Mapset box at the right). 7. You can enter copyright info if appropriate, but its not required here 8. At lower left, chose the directory where cgpsmapper.exe is located (usually the C:\Program Files\cGPSmapper directory), and selected the cgpsmapper.exe file 9. The Convert (Product>Families) section was left blank; more information about Family ID and TYP files is available in the cgpsmapper manual. 10. Checked the box marked Install in MapSource. Checking Blank overview maps will eliminate the map preview in MapSource. Ive found that for some mapsets, leaving this box unchecked will result in a crash of cgpsmapper, and a failure of the installation; in that case, check the box and try again. 11. Clicked Start, and shortly thereafter got a message box saying Convert termined (sic). 12. In the Uninstall Mapset section, theres now a new listing for the added map.
