mix_ Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 y00! Can everybody tell me, how can I create map image and download it to maggi's SD Card? Oki, I load & calibrate an raster or vector map (Using OziExplorer), and? I heard, the file name should be MDETAIL000.img, it's right? Can everybody explain me step-by step this process? rgrds, Mix_ Quote Link to comment
+headmj Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 At least that is what I have been told. The only map images that will load in the Magellans is from their Mapsend program. Nothing else will work. If you find a way, let us know. Quote Link to comment

Can everybody explain me step-by step this process? rgrds, Mix_ The standard map name is "DETAIL00.IMG," but with the latest firmware, you can select any .img file on the SD card to use as a detail map. However, the Magellan .img files are proprietary, and anything that you create probably won't work. If, however, you do get it to work, be sure to let us know.

mix_ Posted July 14, 2002 Author Share Posted July 14, 2002 Question: and so, using MapSend - can I create my own (custom) Maps that's worx? This MapSend package doesn't cover my Area (Latvia, Baltic) Simply: I don't wanna by a 120 USD-Soft without knowing, it's usable for me. And, finally: OKI, i understand, that Magellan, Garmin etc(tb, Thales Nav, etc) wanna make her f..ing money with the closed Map formats, BUT: if they can't make a Map for the Place where I live - sell me (for the sama 120 USD) an unlock_soft, some file converter or similar! BTW: The built_in EU Basemap can be serious (if ever) only in EU I live nearby, in Latvia (and, in few years, it will be in EU), but the poor Coastline has an error for 10 -30 km's!!! I've spend some 350 USD for an Map - able GPS with expandable Mem, and, standing in City-Center, 2 or 3 kms from Sea, I don't like see on GPS_Display, that (according my GPS_Map) actually I 10 kms far in Sea. OK, enought I'm sorry about my poor english:) Mix_ Quote Link to comment
