All,
Went through the US topo maps on the site (Southeast, South Central, etc.) and created .img files of each section--named SEUSA.img, SCUSA.img, etc--and ended up with eight or so .img files that cover the entire US. Copied the .img files to an 8GB SD card and then put the card in my Nuvi 550.
When I went to look for them in the Tool/Settings/Map/Map Info window, none of the maps appeared. Went back to the SD card and renamed one of the files gmapsupp.img (it was NEUSA2.img) and the map now appears correctly in Map Info Window.
The question (finally!): Do each of the separate topo sections need to be compiled into one giant gmapsupp.img in order to have the full US topo, or is there some other way to get the unit to recognize the individual files?
Thanks in advance,
Queezi
