thanks pietu, so is it just a case of downloading the unlocked map and copying it to device, also is there a guide on adding things like 3 d building and junctions photos and speedcams etc

thanks for the help

all is in tutorial section....

read through some tutorials about mapsource, jet mouse keygen and paths and folders and while i understand the process it explains there is no where which tells your the order of things, im in the process of downloading the unlocked CN europe2012, so is it as simple as copying this to the device and away you go or am i missing something,also is there a back up method as i dont want to brick his device

what is the difference between the map source unlocked and the map image?, while the tutorials give a lot of info it is quite confusing knowing which to download and how to then use it?

so heres what i have done so far
i have downloaded the UnLocked MapSource version Original GMAP FID 2419 from here
http://www.navitotal.com/forums/showthread.php?5608-City-Navigator-Europe-NT-2012.10

i have download the 3d map files to go with it the latest speed cam files installer and the lane assisant normal 332mb version

2 question do i need to download anything else to get this map to work?, if so what ?

Yes, you need mapsource special from software section.....

next time, download image file and just copy/paste in nuvi ;)
mapsource instalation is the hard way

so if i download the image file here

and then paste into the nuvi(which folder?)
then put things like 3 d building file etc in the correct folder it will work just like that , no patching or unlock codes needed

so is that mapsource unlock 2.1, getting very confused which method to use and where to put things so from whats been posted i think this is what i need to do

the UnLocked MapSource version Original GMAP FID 2419 i downloaded i put the mapsource unlockv2.1 in the the folder and run it it unlocks the maps? did this ran for about 5 mins and seemed to complete ok

then i copy map over to device and put it in WHICH? folder on the device

and is thats it no unlock codes needed etc

and then with think like 3 d building file and lane assissant files i download the patched versions of those and put them in the folders stated on the download links?

i think i also need to make sure that i have all the add on working that are on the device at the moment so in the garmin folder of the device i can see the following files do i need to replcae these

see attached pic

Download gmaptool you see if image is locked..... 3d image must be unlock also. these image go \Garmin folder
make full backup from device before do nothing...

Replace old image files....and remove .unl files if you use unlocked images...

You can unlock ALL images with Garmin UnLocker Alternative

have done a full back up just like the way i back up tom toms

i don't want to be a pain or sound ungratefull because im not and i thank you for your help but is there not a simple to follow guide for all of this, reading through the thread the advice has gone from doing one thing and downloading one thing to downloading another.reading back its gone from download unlock images, download maps source , download g map tool?

i have the map i want use use downloaded CN2012europe(the unlocked map source files), i have the add on files i want to go with this maps.
What are the steps i need to follow to get this map working on my device?
Why did i need to run mapsource unlock when the files i download said unlocked mapsource files
do i need both mapsource files and the map image file
is the gmap tool for joing the map images into 1 file?

im relucant to alter any files on the device until im sure i know what im doing with these files

again dont want to sound ungratefull just want to make sure i understand things prior to doing them

1. you not need unlock mapsource if it unlocked already (that info just for future if you download locked map)
2. you not need mapsource if you have map image file
3. if you have full backup you cant brick your device...
4. this is not so easy what tomtom is
5. understad that...garmin use map what is packed to .img file... if you use unlocked image just replase old ones \Garmin folder (after backup)
6. that unlocker link is only for .img files...

reason why I say you to use unlocked image is just that....then you understand how garmin works...
after that you can start learn with locked images and jetmouse and unl files and .....

When i look your device picture.... it is gma protected...so you can use only unlocked images after mapid 2200->

so delete gmapprom.img, gmapprom.gma, gmapprom.unl, gmapprom.sum and replase only with unlocked gmapprom.img...just rename your downloaded .img file to this name
