Colorado 300 basemap


Recommended Posts

Posted

I believe I made a boo boo when updating my maps in my colorado 300... I accidently deleted the base map that came with the unit, which is not a huge deal, however, I'd still like to have access to it. Is there anywhere that this can be recovered?

Are you sure it is deleted?

 

If you have detailed maps, they cover the basemap when zoomed in. Zoom way out and see if there is still a map visible.

 

If you did delete it, you will need to contact Garmin to get a new copy.

You can connect to your computer and browse to \Garmin to see if there is a file called gmapbmap.img ?

 

Not there

 

I did this on my Oregon, and when I called tech support they re-installed it for me by sending the file and installing it for me by taking over my computer remotely. Pretty slick.

 

I can e-mail you the files if you want, maps should be the same.

Good luck emailing a file that size....

 

Garmin emailed it to me, I've already forwarded to another Oregon user in the UK. 2 files: gmaptz.img is 529 KB and gmapbmap.img is 19.9 MB

I managed to contact Garmin and they remotely put a copy of the basemap back on my GPS... pretty cool to watch them do that.... thanks all!!!
