Gmapprom Installieren
GMapTool - program for splitting and merging maps in Garmin format. Main functions of GMapTool: Merging maps in img format. Splitting files in img format into mapset, maps, subfiles of maps. Installation of mapset for use with programs Mapsource, BaseCamp, HomePort. Editing of map properties - map type, priority, transparency. The only file missing from the nuvi is the gmapprom.img file (it was 1.5+ GB so I deleted it after copying it to my hard drive on the mac). Other files are all in there. So If I can see it and copy the original file back to it I think it will work.
Contents.OpenMTB mapsis a project based on which offers detailed hiking and mountainbiking information. You can download a map for free. In the following guide I have chosen the Alps map.
RequirementsYou will need a Windows computer (sorry, but I don’t know any other way) with the following free tools installed:.Map installationCopy the downloaded file mtbalps.exe to the Windows computer and start it.Click on Next and select Mapsource-QlandkarteGT as layout. Choose a directory where you want the map to be installed, e.g., the default one C:Gaminopenmtbmapalps. You should now be able to see the map in Garmin BaseCamp. Map conversionStart Garmin MapConverter and select the just installed map. For the Alps map it is called FAMILY6528. For other OpenMTB maps it will be called differently. You should be able to guess the family id by looking at the beginning of the file names in the installation directory of the map.
Click Next and select an installation directory, e.g., the default one C:Garmin. After conversion is finished there should be a directory called FAMILY6528.gmapi. This can be directly imported into Garmin BaseCamp on Mac OS X: simply copy this directory to you Mac computer, start Garmin MapManager and install it. Finished.As a last step, I recommend uninstalling the map on your Windows computer. Go to the installation directory C:Gaminopenmtbmapalps and execute openmtbmapalpsuninstall. Garmin IMG formatAssume we have a map map.img in Garmin’s IMG format. RequirementsYou will need a Windows computer with the following free tools installed:.First step (GMapTool)Copy the map map.img to your Windows computer.
Start GMapTool.Click on Add Files and select map.img.Go to the tab Options, select MapTk, and select the directory where MapTk is installed.Go to the tab Split. Select some empty directory where you want to save the parts of map.img created by GMapTool. Select Compile preview map and enter some name describing your map. Select Set mapset FID and enter the FID and PID of your map. You should be able to get these numbers when you click on Info in the Files tab of GMapTool. Otherwise, try some random number between 100 and 9999 for FID.Now, click on Split all. The process should hopefully finish without error messages.

After the conversion is done, there should be a directory called FAMILYFID.gmapi inside the directory you have chosen (where FID is your FID). This file can be used for Garmin BaseCamp under Mac OS X: simply copy it to your Mac OS X computer and install it using Garmin MapManager.I suggest uninstalling the maps under Windows. Go to the directory of the split process you selected in GMapTool. Right click on uninstall.bat and select Run as administrator. In case you use Parallels, this directory should lie on the Windows drive since in the next step we have to execute a batch script with administrator rights and this does not work on a remote drive.
