Help needed to upload MFM map into Garmin 2457LMT

Postby renjii » Mon Aug 18, 2014 11:54 pm

Hi all the sifus

I'm new here and trying to install MFM map into my garmin 2457LMT that friend bought for me in US

I dled the MFM Map from link viewtopic.php?f=28&t=662 and trying to copy the map to the devices but failed to do so. I tried using mapsource to transfer the map to my device but failed to do so too. It could't detect the device i'm connected


Anything that i missed out ?

Thanks

Go buy a SD card
Create a sub folder \garmin in the SD card

Download the MfM map installer via this link
viewtopic.php?p=123970#p123970
Run the installer to generate a map file gmapsupp.img

Copy the map file into the SD card\garmin

Plug the SD card into your Nuvi
Power up and enjoy map
