Hi, im kinda new to this GPS world so im wandering if i can merge/combine a few maps that i have into one gmapsupp.img file??
for instance i have malaysia and thailand map... is it possible for me to combine them into one file? if it is how do i do that...
thanks...
Yes, it is possible. Mapsource will do the job for you.Originally Posted by khairi [Dear Guest/Member you can't see link before replyclick here to register]
In Mapsource select the map you want to transfer using the map tool, mark all map tiles and check in the map slider on the very left that your desired map is marked.
Then, open the second map in Mapsource, mark all tiles again using the map tool which will add i.e. the Thailand map to the map slider.
Add any additional map you want to have the same way.
Finally transfer the selected maps to you GPS'r - BUT - be careful, this will overwrite all maps you have installed on your unit.
I would rather suggest to upload your extra map (even multiple maps compilation) onto a SD/microSD card instead.

If the map itself is routable, Mapsource compilation will not change anything in terms of routing.
And please, take your time to write understandable sentences, your abbreviations are not understandable to all users, especially not to those where English is not their native language.

Hi khairi,
All the mapsource is capable to merge routable version unless you specify "remove routable information" when you merge your maps. You can also merge other third party map with our maps.
