i m new to 5800.. my wife just bought one unit with map loaded.
Is there any discussion thread about how to update the map on 5800?
i have the Nuvi but i'm not too sure if the method is the same. I also want to load in the custom POI if it can load in.
If the navigation software installed is Garmin Mobile XT, the method is similar to a Nuvi (also pls read up on this topic: MFM Map Installation Step by Step Guide). As for detailed IMG map naming, GMXT data card can recognize GMAPSUPP.IMG, GMAPPROM.IMG and GMAPSUP2.IMG.
Also similarly like Nuvi, GMXT can support Custom POIs too. Get the latest compiled Custom POIs installer from this link: Free Malaysia Garmin Custom POI: MFM-CPOI v2.04 (27/08/09)
