+burtsbodgers Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Hi All I have a garmin oregon 300 which i have added OS maps to via the "Custom Map" folder, now a friend has the 200 which does not appear to have the "custom map" folder. Do any of the 200 owners out there have the folder on there units, possibly via updates, it may be that he has not updated it recently, or is the unit software that different from the 300? Just trying to help a friend out. TIA Quote Link to comment
yogazoo Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Create one yourself. DRIVE:\Garmin\CustomMaps. Quote Link to comment
+burtsbodgers Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 But will the unit use this file when displaying maps? Quote Link to comment
+allory Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Thats where the updates come in. Custom maps were added to the Oregon line with v. 3.30 and have been tweaked several times since then. The current version is 4.10 (http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=4051) or 4.12 beta (http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=4741) if you're feeling adventurous.

+burtsbodgers Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 Ok Another question along the same lines Can you make the " Custom Map" folder on an SD card and if so will the unit read the info on it. Does it need a specific directory lay out or do you just call Custom Maps? on the 200 front apparently he tried an update 2 weeks ago and there weren't any available. Quote Link to comment
+Unobtainium Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Yes you can have a Custom map folder on the SD card and the unit will read it. The directory should be \Garmin\CustomMaps Please note the lack of a space in between Custom and Maps, the plural of Maps and the capitalisation as all of these are important. Quote Link to comment
+Bear and Ragged Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 on the 200 front apparently he tried an update 2 weeks ago and there weren't any available. There are Beta updates out there. They work fine! Quote Link to comment
