I don't understand what goes wrong, because apparently it seems simpler to install than those of Norway but....I'm getting really lost..
I tried to :
- put one IMG file directly in the garmin directory in the micro-SD card of my Garmin Etrex Legend Hcx : won't work, the device doesn't see the map
- put one IMG file in the garmin directory of my hard disk : won't work, Mapsource doesn't see the map
- follow the instructions given here (with the last version of Mapsource) :
http://www.navitotal.com/forums/showthread.php?1608-How-to-unlock-the-map-topo-France-v2
but the map won't even install on my laptop, so I can't go anywhere...
- use GMaptools with CGPSmapper, but I don't understand the whole thing so I think I missed something....
I'm disturbed by all of this, because the maps are unlocked, so it should be easy, I think I'm really dumb and need some help..... (I use Windows XP)

Did you rename .img file in GMAPSUPP.IMG, before this you have to create folder Garmin on your sd card, format it before like FAT32, right click on your SD CARD and choose option FORMAT, for file system use FAT32, then on formatted card , create folder Garmin, inside folder garmin copy renamed .IMG file GMAPSUPP.IMG!
That's all..

i but it [SD-CARD]:\Garmin\GMAPSUPP.IMG and it works fine and it is unlocked

If you use internal memory rename GMAPPROM.IMG and try again
