transferring maps to micro SDCard


Recommended Posts

I had a Garmin eTrex Vista C and now I have a GPSmaps 78. I have some maps on CD that I'd like to transfer to the memory card.

I've put them on the card, (in folders) but the GPS doesn't see them.

I thought I'd ask before I moved all the files out of the folders and make a file mess.

Info just for another way of description.

Oregon550 - my map setup. H: is the micro sd card (Windows7/64). I only use Windows Explorer to install maps.

Active maps are stored in the H:\Garmin\subdirectory

The micro sd card:

H:\DCIM\ (for geotagged photos and photos)

H:\Garmin\gmaprom.img

gmapsupp_CA.img

gmapsuppUSA.img

\Garmin\GPX\

\Garmin\MAPS\

\Garmin\POI\

 

Under Garmin\Maps\ I keep other not activated maps (gmapsuppUSAplains.img,gmapsupp_2013UK.img, gmapsupp_PragueCZ.img, gmapsupp_danube.img)

 

Under Garmin\POI\ all manner of POI (PointsOfInterest, from restaurants, to speed radar cameras, geocaches and TourGuides)
