Hi there, Sifus

Bought a Dakota 20. My question is if I load a img file into the micro sd card, how do I get my unit to view the map. Tried loading a img file into the sd card but cannot get to view it on the map section of the Dakota 20. Some explanation needed. Thanks.

[dvpro]

Firstly the IMG file should be placed within \Garmin folder. If not yet available, create a New Folder at the root directory of the card and rename it as Garmin. Thereafter in Dakota verify at Setup > Map > Map Info, that the map is enabled and that other map of similar region is disabled as well (to prevent possible overlapping by other maps).

thanks bro dvpro fr prompt reply.
