QUOTE(cucubud @ Jan 15 2009, 10:32 PM) Garmin only look at the file gmapsupp.img You can put in many maps, but the other maps have to be in a different name. Eg: gmapsuppmsm.img or gmapsuppmfm.img your file names wont work. its gmapsupp.img gmapsup1.img errr gmapbmap ask stimix go dig up that flowchart for u. i lazy to find. and u can combine both maps. u cna combine 10 maps even. just some complications will arise only.

You should locked on with 3 minutes. If after 5 minutes, still cannot log on, then something is wrong. QUOTE(stalkie @ Jan 21 2009, 09:11 AM) Could we download maps from other country?

Thanks for the reply... just want to make sure that it can be done, by the way... is it straight forward to download and load it to memory for it to run? Still thinking of getting 1 GPS... Anyone use it for traveling not just for their cars?

If the file name is gmapsupp.img then you can straight away copy to your Garmin folder. Before that, better to rename the current gmapsupp.img to another name first so that when you return to Malaysia, you can use back that map.

the maps can be use together  i read from other gps forum, i think maximum is 4 maps... i didnt test it lar including base map and rom map all 4 extra: you already use the combine maps feature from base map + gmapsupp map, this mean separate map is possible on garmin if i make a mistake tat mean we can have unlimited gps maps, gmapsupp1,2...n
