Understand the files and folders within your Nuvi

[maxximuz]

thanks silverbeauty,

but seems like both the link are exactly the same. Anyway, this is the version that I downloaded and copy to /Garmin folder in the micro-SD card.

one thing I noticed is, there are logs of other file in the /malfreemaps folder after generated the MFM Garmin maps, shd I copy all to the micro-SD car /Garmin folder? becoz I only copy 1 file which is the gmapsupp.img ?

thank you very much

sorry newb question :
for nuvi 2xx, can we create POI folder on the SD card & put the cPOIs file there instead?

I have a garmin 1350. After experimenting a few times, this was what worked for me:

For garmin 1350, you have to create a "Map" folder in the root directory. You also have to rename the file from gmapsupp.img to other names such as mfm.img

If I kept it as gmapsupp.img, the file will not be recognised by the GPS.

Hope this is useful for those struggling with garmin 1350

Thanks, it (keeping it as gmapsupp.img) worked for me. Can I presumed the maps in .system is not working in that case? I do not see list them in the map info.

U should install mfm map from garmin.com.sg/mapupdates and not from this forum download section.

GPX folder - stores your trip log. You can open the GPX files within this folder with Mapsource
