There are no dumb questions, only sometimes dumb answers.

Moderator Note
As per the previous post, no "conversion" required

Another dumb question:
Is there a guide for "Download instructions; Single file, Save download to C:\ProgramData\Garmin\Maps use map source to chose your own map it’s unlocked"?
I downloaded the file and saved it to the suggested directory but not sure how to use "map source".
Thanks in advance

Any way we can get a West/East version that is less than 2GB(very old device)? Thank you!

I have MapSource v6.16.3 running but I don't know how to load these maps.
The formats expected (.gdb, .mps, .gpx, *.tcx, .loc) don't seem to exist in the downloaded archive "City_Navigator_North_America_NT_2022_25.gmap.rar"
What am I missing?

The files you expected are not the map files they are files produced/created using MapSource for route files ,map sets etc.
Copy the extracted folder City_Navigator_North_America_NT_2022_25.gmap to C:\ProgramData\Garmin\Maps

Ok I apologize in advance for my newbie questions.

Unless I have missed something, how do you use these maps to create the JCV files, gmad3d file, gmapprom file, etc, to write directly to a SD or uSD card.

I installed mapsource and read through the documentation but it doesn't seem to be the right software to accomplish this?

If you download the files from Internet so just copy the whole tree of directories on your SD card of course the unlocked ones otherwise you unlock them.
If you download the PC files is better to use Basecamp and inside there is a functionality mapinstall which will download to your device the proper files according the Region you may choose.

Ok, again I apologize for the newb questions. Let's assume I downloaded the files in the first post of this thread. They look nothing like the files that are on the SD card for my device.
If I am understanding you correctly I would need to use Basecamp to create the files I need for my SD card? If this is correct, is Basecamp available for download from Garmin?

Can Basecamp write the files directly to hard drive? I have to be able to do that before I can write the files to my uSD card. The reason is because the uSD card is for a Kenwood radio with Garmin nav. The uSD card is difficult to work with because it has 2 partitions. The root partition is FAT12 and contains very little. The second partition is - I believe - ext3 so I cannot access it from a Windows machine. The only thing I have found so far that I can use to access this partition is a mac. I have tried a couple of Linux distros and they can't seem to access it either. :/

Thank you.

Mapsource/Basecamp ,Mapinstall only produces map.img files no one has shared the additional(jcv,ASR,PNX,3d,etc) files from their device yet

I see. Ok, what is the preferred/easiest program to use to produce the .img files and save them to the HDD?

Yes I know. I was not asking a question about that in this thread. Merely explaining why I am unable to simply write the files directly to a device.
