I had already read about the 2GB limit so I bought a six pack of 2GB cards on Amazon for $23Cdn, pretty good price I think. Came in a little case to keep them organized.

I had hoped to put two or three maps on each card. Now I'll order one more and I'll just have to limit myself to twelve different maps LOL.

BINGO!

This:

can be directly copied or installed to the Garmin folder on your GPS (on older, single mapset devices mapname may need to be renamed gmapsupp.img),

I don't know if I missed it or if it isn't in the tutorials but once I made a "Garmin" folder and renamed the file it loaded into the Garmin.

Model 76CSx BTW, which I'm now guessing is a single mapset device so I'm going to need a microsd card for every region and for every type of map (topo or routable)

Thanks for the quick reply sockmonkey!

BTW: I made a "Garmin" folder on my USB stick and just copied all of the maps to it. I didn't change any names and they all show up in Basecamp so no further effort required there either.

Hi All

Trying to load and use Canadian maps by SockMonkey - listed in the Custom maps under "Canada"

If I store the .img file on a USB stick I can use then in BaseCamp so I'm relatively sure the maps/files are OK.

I can download them and process them using MapsetToolkit V1.77 but the instructions say to choose or compile a .TYP file and There is no .TYP file in the download and no .txt file to compile from.

If I leave the TYP field blank cGPSmapper (0100d) does it's thing and the "convert completed" appears but when I try to start Mapsource I get "There is a problem with the XXXXXX installation. Please re-install XXXXXX and start MapSource again. The only option is to shut down MapSource.

I've reinstalled a number of times and tried several different maps to no avail.

One thing I notice is that there are only four files generated and no TYP file, could the lack of TYP file be the cause of MapSource's refusal to startup?

I downloaded a map with the auto installer to see if i could discern a difference and the obvious one is that it had a TYP file and the SockMonkey one has an .mdx file.

Any help appreciated.
