Mapsource (Garmin) uses two files to 'see' a map set ... a *.tbl and the same name with a .img extention. From that site I linked .. you get one .img file (or a few in my case) .. not the .img file first mentioned.. You need to 'generate' these files .. using umm some program I cannot remember the name of .. will do this .. it actuall generates a .reg file too..
Humm will look it up later .. it is related to cgpsmapper .. avalible from the link if you go 'up' the tree .. I'll have to sort this out and writ it up properly so others can understand it ..
Later? Much later .. Put all of them in one directory the .reg file, the .tbl file and the two (at least) .img files. I use C:/Garmin/FMaps .. you can use anything but mapsource/garmin put their files under C:Garmin so I followed. Then you need to open the .reg file and edit it to lead to the directory you chose .. it will have a default directory .. but I use mine so have to change it .. you'll see the format it uses.. Once that is correct .. double click on it and confirm you want the registary changed .. if you have the .reg file wrong than mapsource won't open and will suggest you reload mapsource .. a pain .. but you can 'undo' your reg entry but using regedit.. More sense later..
Oh .. do you have smellybikers 'wanderlust' map set .. that will give you some rough coverage...
