Download the standard map's gmapsupp.img here

[Borgie]

I tried everything but not loading up so I am not sure If I downloaded the Philippines Maps correctly...Now Do I have to be in the Philippines for that to work on my Garmin? I thought that once you loaded any maps in Garmin you can just switch location and view it before hand? I am I missing something?

Thanks

You don't have to be in the Philippines to load the map but if you want to see the Philippine map appear in your screen, then you must be in the Philippines. Otherwise, your Nuvi will show your actual location and show the map of that location... If you want to view it beforehand, disable the GPS first so you can manually browse your maps. HTH

Thank you very much for clarifying that for me now I can understand how this works Now one more question If loaded the Philippine maps correctly it should give me street names right? Beacuse I turned Off the GPS and manually went to the Philippines Maps it just give me city names i.e. Quezon City, Manila etc...etc....Is that the Case? So when I go back to the Philippines and turn the GPS On it will give me the street names right?

Thanks

You can put your Nuvi in demo mode, select a new location (Philippines) and make sure that in demo mode you've transferred the location to the Philippines, then zoom in closer to your desired area to see more detail (roads and POIs). Use the search function to search for Philippine address or POIs, much like searching realtime, only, you're doing it in demo mode...

hi ferds.
1. you can download our standard map and install it into your gpsmap from this thread:
http://www.roadguide.ph/forums/showthread.php?t=5
2. you can also download our demo map version 1.07 from this thread:
http://roadguide.ph/forums/showthread.php?t=17
but this can not be loaded into your gpsmap, you can open it using mapsource software.
3. we also have our contributors map version 1.07c but its available only for contributors.
how to be a contributor, check this thread:

Errr... maybe it's not the demo map you've downloaded but the standard map's gmapsupp.img? You can't install the demo map to your Nuvi. Send in your contributions to avail of the contributor's map and you'd be even more pleased with the level of detail...

Gents,

A little observation. I was navigating around manila today using the standard map. I was led several times down the same "very" narrow street (including parked Tricycles and Fxs).

Comparing the demo map and the standard map, they look similar - I specified not to be taken down the narrow streets, but it continued to send me down it . Does the contributors map use all the same size streets?

hi sir,

can you please check if your syster is set to faster time or shorter distance

[wodger]

Hi HBT,

System is set to faster time - but with that road, I would be surprised if it was faster than a major road
