Re: How to put maps onto your PC
Posted: Mon May 07, 2018 6:25 pm
so now I have uninstalled all Garmin programs/apps from the PC.
I have deleted the img file from the zumo memory card which is now all but empty. I found and deleted two small .gma files. couldn't find any .unl file.
So I hoped that the zumo would only have the 2013.4 map on it. Once started up, I could see on the zumo that the only map available to be ticked was indeed the 2013.4 map.
I then had/have two goals. 1. Get the 2013.4. map from the zumo onto BC. 2. Get Garmin Express to recognize that the map on the zumo is the 2013.4 map.
I reinstalled Garmin Express, added my zumo as the only GPS device. what happens? the damn thing keeps saying in Map options that the map is City Navigator Europe 2018.20. Where does this come from? This map isn't on my PC anymore (as far as I know, I uninstalled it).
I installed BC. Once the ZUmo is connected to the PC, I can see under devices that the map is the 2013.4. and a message about restrictions of this map. Under Maps, Manage Map Products I arrive at Map Product Manager, Map product information tab. There I can see the global map and my 2013.4 map, both indicated as not lockable (is this normal?) with file locations. But the actual file location appears to be empty. There is also a 2nd tab called unlock regions (where it says map product not installed for 11 regions, with comments stating region unlock code from "complicated name".gma.
Do I need to do anything with this ?
When I disconnect the zumo from the PC then in BC I can only see the global map.
any suggestions where I'm going wrong? or what to do next?
cheers
