Next step after downloading 1.25 demo

[jhlebumfacil]

Hello.

I have a Nuvi 1490T with the pre-loaded NA map in it.

I've downloaded version 1.25 of the philippine map from roadguide.ph. I ran it and the jklinc folder was created in my c:\.

What is the next step? I copy the jklinc folder in my microSD (F:\)? Or in my Nuvi 1490T device (D:\)?

Any feedback on this would be appreciated.

Br,
JH

I tried copying the jklinc in my microSD (which I inserted in my 1490T device). Then checked if the map was detected... so from the main screen of the device, I went to Tool > Settings > Map > Info

I can see my NA map, but not the Philippine map.

Any feedback on how I can use the Philippine map that I just downloaded in my Nuvi 1490T device will be appreciated.

p.s. I tried searching the FAQs but I couldn't find a thread discussing 1490T

Thanks Jan.

I should upload the standard map version v1.07 to my GPS unit and start recording waypoints, right?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jan,

I downloaded the standard map (the file I downloaded from the link was jklinc_roadguide.ph_1.07_basic_map.exe). After downloading, I installed it - it generated a folder called C:\jklinc with the following contents

roadguide.ph (folder)
10278.TYP
63287201.img
63287202.img
63287203.img
....
63287213.img
history.txt
philrout.img


philrout.MDX
PhilRout.reg
philrout.TDB
PHILROUT_MDR.IMG

the folder roadguide.ph had the following content
12f6c.TYP
63287215.img
Roadguid.img
roadguid.reg
Roadguid.TDB

I was planning to follow Method 2 (copy and pasted the instruction below -- but I couldn't see where Gmapsupp.img is)

Method 2. Gmapsupp.img
connect gps to pc. (or memory card)
copy paste the gmapsupp.img in the correct folder. which should be named garmin (as in /garmin)
done.


What am I missing? Please advise.

Thanks.

You can create the file with MapSource.

gtv is right.

Hi Kuya Reijie and GTV,

I think you referenced the wrong Letter, Letter L is for the contributor's map, jhleb only downloaded the demo map and free map as of now.

So it's still the same link but you should try:

Letter B no.2 but then again it looks like you have already read it.

Anyway I am not sure if the gmapsupp.img for the free map is still downloadable or not. If it is not available for download, then you really have to install Mapsource so it's the Method 2.

Anyway hopefully someone can chime in if there is a link to the gmapsupp.img for 1.07 somewhere.

TTFN

@jhlebumfacil

you need mapsource (faq B.1 - how to get mapsource) in order to be able to create/compile gmapsupp.img.

Thank you gtv, Reiji0463, arvin555 and legtu

Here's what I've done...

(1) downloaded training center (TrainingCenter_361.exe, almost 42MB) from Garmin.com as instructed in the http://roadguide.ph/forums/showpost....88&postcount=1.

Installed training center... training center is a pre-requisite for installing mapsource (MapSource_6157.exe, about 59MB)

(2) downloaded and installed mapsource ... mapsource_6157.exe will not install if training center has not been installed first (my newbie mistake )

(3) then install jklinc_roadguide.ph_1.07_basic_map.exe

(4) run mapsource -- it automatically selects "Roadguide.ph 1.07basic map"

(5) then followed method 1 in the following link http://roadguide.ph/forums/showpost.php?p=3&postcount=1

(6) to check if there was a successful transfter, I went to my device, and selected tools > settings > map > info -- where it'll show Roadguide.ph -- SUCCESS!


Newbie questions...

(1) after pressing the send button in Mapsource, where did the file go (i assume this file to e gmapsupp.img)? did it go to my GPS unit or microSD?

I saw gmapsupp.img in my microSD (drive F but has a date of 05-January-2010 (I was expecting 16-June-2011, the date mapsource created the map)...

I checked my GPS' internal memory (drive D -- garmin folder, I did not see any new file, not even gmapsupp.img.

(2) in my microsd ( drive F:/), is it safe to delte the jklinc folder?

It depends where you send it. Either to Garmin with SN..... or your Micro SD as you have 2 choices (if sd card is inserted). If its the former- then it was sent to the garmin folder of your gps, if its the latter, then the gmap supp is in your micro SD.

Based from your comments that you saw gmapsupp in microsd, then it appears you send the map to your microsd

Normally the jklinc folder is located in your hard drive (C) of your computer and not in microsd.

No- do not delete this jKlinc folder- it will mess up everything

question...

did you use the maptoll to select which to transfer? did the map at mapsource turn pink before you transfer?

[jhlebumfacil]

Thanks Jspalaroan, Hbt

@Jspalaroan, I deleted the jkflinc folder in my microSD before reading your reply... Thank goodness, nothing unusual happened...whew! I was able to use the map quite well.

@Hbt, Jspalaroan

Can you please let me know the path to map toll in Mapsource? Is it in tools? Utilities?

Thanks in advance.
