Using The Maps/Garmin Software / Re: Maps won't unlock

I added it into the GPS not the SD card and it worked. I don't know why, but it only worked by putting the file on the GPS itself.

Thanks. I returned it and got another. No problems now, except for loading maps through a MAC. But thats another story.

GPSr Units / 450 power problem
May 08, 2010, 04:00:27 AM
I appreciated the help getting the files loaded, but now I have a new problem...

The GPS will not power up on battery power. It works fine while connected by a USB. I have tried regular batteries, rechargeables, and Lithium with nothing. It acts like it is dead. Any ideas?

I guess it is some Mac software problem. Hopefully a patch comes out to fix it. I'm not a fan going back on to Windows, but looks like I have to for this.

The gmapsupp.img file is 569.2 mb. The message says cannot unlock maps. The other maps do not show up at all in the map menu.

Thanks all.

I've gone through the tutorials and installed the map just as described and still not able to get it.

I'm on a Mac 10.6.3
Garmin Oregon 450
Basemap 3.0.1.0
MapInstall 2.1.5

Installing Ibycus USA and the North Carolina map

It adds it into the Garmin folder on the SD card as a file called gmapsupp.img. I've also tried putting the file in the custom map folder and also tried changing the name. Still nothing.

Anyone have a solution? I thought this was easy. Maybe I'm not installing right through Mapinstall.

Thanks
