I downloaded the 8 April 2025 version of CA-CentralProvTopo and am unable to extract the img file. System reports it as corrupted. Anyone else experience this? The other CA zipped files work ok.

Map maker here!  Curious about how you are extracting and with what program.  I'm a loooong time 7zip user and it has never let me down.  I just downloaded and extracted the CA-Central Prov map without issue, and even took a quick peak in Festive.

I can and do make mistakes which is why I download a copy of my maps and if I can't, to rectify it.  BTW, is the "System" reporting the error Windows or Mac.  More info would be helpful to myself and possibly a few others on this site to assist.

Not Festive... :-[   FancyRoute https://www.litotes.de/FancyRoute/

For those who were not aware it is one of the few programs to view Garmin .img files.  The rendering is not quite what it looks like in Basecamp, but it saves time instead of kludging with other methods to view the .img file, Windows only.

Hello, I am getting the same type of error messages. I used both 7zip and microsoft unzip. BOTH give me error messages saying the file is corrupt or broken, 7zip will still unsip it but the imag file is useless/unusable. I have tried another map and it worked fine. seems to be link to the data of the windows Version of CA-CentralProvTopo Map ONLY. PLZ fix the file.

So, I was not able to duplicate a corrupt file, but I did note that the properties did not match the image size and could be causing issues for some.  I will recompile and re upload.  It may be later today or tomorrow.  I will post when I have done so.

The zip file can now be unzipped and the .img file works now, thank you so much for the quick fix.
