Re: Missing / Corrupted Building icon in Mapsource

Postby zamad » Sun Sep 28, 2008 11:35 pm

Found the thread in MSM. I've tried reinstalling it back to 6.13.7, then to 6.13.6, but that didn't work. Apparently I've not gone far enough. I need reinstall 6.13.5... which, unfortunately I do not have. Any clues or lead where it is still available?

Still the same problem on 6.1.3.5 version even upgrade to 6.1.3.7, problem solve if using 6.14.1 but refresh rate is too slow :fire:

I made a mess just now trying to re-install Mapsource. Rolling back to earlier 'restore points' didn't work either! This is what I learnt: Start by re-installing v6.13.5, then update to v6.13.6. This is where you should stop. Updating to v6.13.7 brings back the corrupted icons! Version 6.14.1 looks graphically better but the refresh rate stinks!

Noticed that after uninstall previous Mapsource version. There's still traces of Mapsource information in the registries.

I would remove all Mapsource registry entries in :

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Garmin
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Garmin

After that, install newer version of Mapsource (shown in MSM WiKi).
But would need to re-install all the map/s previously installed.

The best solution. Tested and worked on FIND problem issue in mapsource.

1. Uninstall all garmin software including MFM, MSM and other original garmin mapset.

2. go START > RUN > type 'regedit' > search for 'Garmin' in HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Right click on Garmin and delete.

3. Run CCleaner

4. Restart your PC and download all over again.

p/s: If you dont get it right and the problem still occurs, you must have done something wrong during the process.

Hi Bro

You have to use winrar unpack mapsource_6141.exe (or other version) and then run the "main.msi" first. later run the "setup.exe"
