Thanks everyone. Boyd's comment "you don't open a map" did solve the problem. By the way, the name of the image file was not a real one. I just punched some numbers as an example of a file name (wiithout counting the digits). :-)

Ok, so maybe the title is a little brutal. I downloaded the Virginia topo and went to see the tutorial on how to install it using the Map Source (I have 6.15). The tutorial is strait forward, no question. But... All "Virginia" files are in .img format (plus one .typ and one tdb) and the only answer I could get from my Map Source was "5656445.img is not a valid MapSource file and could not be opened".

What am I missing ?
Thanks in advance

Thanks seldom_sn, I will try it

Hi there, I'm new to this forum and relatively new to this "GPS-thing". I already know how to make from JPG a custom map for my Garmin Oregon 450. However, since I use a lot of "custom maps" I would like to put them not directly in the Garmin memory (Garmin/Custom Maps/), but on a separate micro SD card. Is there a trick to do it? Because when I try, the GPS doesn't see my custom maps.

My second question relates to using MAPC2MAPS. I'm able to go through the tutorial and end up with image tiles in one folder (.jpg format) and the doc file (.kml format), but from this point I'm clueless what to do with them.

Thanks for any help.
