        Sorry I cannot seem to upload the screenshots directly

        Maybe users can signify if they have successfully set this up in their iPhones
        Successfully did it on my iOS devices after following some guides on the net :-)

        Here are the steps with some revisions:

        Things that you will need:

        the Garmin OnBoard app for iOS (it’s a blue icon with the word U.S.A. on it) <or any Garmin Onboard app>
        a jailbroken iPhone + iPhone cable
        iFunbox
        iFile
        RG map file (or any map of your choice)

        ...

        Next using iFunbox, copy your map (which has the extension .img) file to //var/mobile/Applications/[USA]/Library/sdcard/Garmin/. If you cannot located the application “USA”, sort the apps by date.



        (Note that [USA] is denoted by some random numbers in some file viewer. More on that later.) You might also want to copy the .img file to //var/mobile/Applications/[USA]/Garmin-nav.app/storage-usa/.System

        ...

        If you cannot locate “garmin-nav.app”, that’s because it is shown as “USA” in iFunbox. How intuitive is that? * duhhhh *

        ...

        Next you will need to use iFile. The trick is trying to locate the application number and match it against the iFile, because as I mentioned earlier, even though iFunbox shows the name “USA”, it is actually shown as some random numbers in iFile. Just double-click the app in iFunbox and note the numbers shown at the title bar.

        In iFile, locate all the files that you have just copied, and set these ownership and permissions:

        Ownership:

        Owner: mobile; Group: mobile

        Access Permissions:

        User: Read, Write, Execute

        Group: Read, Execute

        World: Read, Execute

        If you cannot see certain folders in iFiles (such as .System), make sure that you “show hidden files” in the iFiles options. ...

          Good job Warfab. I'm sure there will be more members who will be able to successfully use Garmin on their IOS devices. One thing I noted is that the img file to be used should have .approm instead of .img☺

                Is it really not possible to do this without jailbreaking? I saw a website indicating that you do not need a jailbroken iOS device, however it did mention something about locked maps. Isn't the contributor map a locked one?

                    You need to have your ios gadget jailbreaked for you to upload PH map into your ios unit. Unless Garmin sells a streetpilot for ios bundled with a PH map, this (streetpilot with other country's map + jailbreak + replace with PH map) is the only solution to get a garmin on your ios device.

                        This is even after you've done the necessary tweaks you previously did?

                          Yes. The installer I used is old compared to IOS 7 and refuses to be installed using iFunbox..
