Philippine Maps for Garmin Units

[desertfox615]

Need help, guys. I can't seem to find the "gmapsupp.img" in my Nuvi 1300. I already downloaded and installed mapsource from OSM, then downloaded gmapsupp.img from the OSM site. But when I opened my device and went through each folder, I couldn't find its gmapsupp.img so I could overwrite it. Is there any thing else I need to look into? Thanks very much.

sir, just copy gmapsupp.img to F:\garmin (susbtitute F: with your garmin's usb drive assignment).

what OS are you using?

^ or you can try "F:\Map" on a nuvi 1300

btw ... a new 1300 will not have a file gmapsupp.img on it ... the first time Mapsource is used to install a map, it will create the directory called "Map" on the unit and wites the gmapsupp.img file on it

*desertfox615 and kinyo;

Thanks for the tip. I copied the gmapsupp.img file into my device but still can't get a satellite reading. Pls bear w/ me as I ask this: do I also have to copy the mapsource file into my Nuvi? I downloaded and ran it and it's now in the PC. But when I try to access it through All Programs > OSM-PH Garmin maps > a drop down menu of "Uninstall" (with a crossed out icon) and "Website" appears. Is this the end result of the installation?

Btw, kinyo my OS is XP.

Thanks again.

*JackFlash ... i think you only installed the OSM map for Mapsource ... not Mapsource itself ... to run Mapsource, you should be clicking on Start->Programs->Garmin->Mapsource

if indeed you already installed Mapsource and as you say running, what version is it?

Mapsource works on XP or Win7. It is installed only on the PC, not on the nuvi.

Hi Can someone point me a tutorial on how to contribute to roadguide, I'm using garmin 265wt currently using OSM version.

kindly check out this link: http://roadguide.ph/forums/showthread.php?t=1526... this will help you get started.

it would be better if you can submit the said corrections, so that it can be updated in the next map release.

Bro.liv,- I did, but I guess it was never corrected. Even PM'ed the admin.

There must be an anointed way to do it, though....

How does one get the updates on OSM maps? I've downloaded a map already but wondering if there are updates. Some of the streets and directions in the one I downloaded are no longer correct. Been searching through the OSM site but can't find any links on uploads. Thanks.

Thanks. Which link do I click on...

• executable file for Mapsource
• installer for Mac RoadTrip (data as of April 15, 2011)
• compressed gmapsupp.img
• README.txt
• Routability debugging report
• Last update: There are problems with the macroadtrip installer. The latest working map available for macroadtrip here is April 15, 2011. The compressed gmapsupp.img and mapsource is unaffected by this issue.

Sorry for the techo-idiocy.

the updated map would be "compressed gmapsupp.img"....

how do you transfer maps to your device? via Mapsource or via copy-paste?

I used Mapsource when I 1st downloaded OSM. Same link lang pala for the update. Thanks very much.

[hapahopi]

download the compressed gmasupp.img to your pc. unzip the file and transfer this to the sd card of your garmin device. make sure to back up the original one.

Copy-paste it to your device. Be sure to first backup the original gmapsupp.img in your device....

need help guys. i'm using nuvi 255 and currently use the free map from roadguide. i already downloaded the osm map and save it in the external SD card. how will i switch my map from roadguide to osm map? do i need mapsource to do the swtich or pwede na straight from the nuvi 255? thanks.

[kinyo]

^ straight from nuvi ... iirc, its on settings/map/info, you would see check marks on enabled maps, uncheck/check the map you want to disable/enable

As previously mentioned on this thread, RoadGuide overrides OSM so make sure to switch from one over to another depending on which location has better POI's.

you mean i really need to replace the "gmapsupp.img" of Roadguide if i want to use OSM map?

Here's how I do it: the OSM file is loaded in the gps' internal memory and I placed the Roadguide file in an SD card. If I want to use Roadguide I leave the SD card inserted. If I want OSM I just pull out the SD card.
