screenshoot If you want integrate home-made or free garmin- img-files as new mapset to "Mapsource" (® Garmin), you must do some difficult things like create registrykeys, .TDB und previewfiles. It is a highrisk job.  If you make a mistake, the computer or "Mapsource"can go down. For all people, who fight against this problem i have make the software IMG2MS downloadsite. img2ms can handle 32 bit and 64 bit windows os. Select the .img-files for the new mapset, type in a name und few 'clicks' later  the new mapset is automatically integrated. Also you can change the name of existing mapset's and the 'Drawpriority'. Also you can add a already existing typefile to any mapset, or change the typefile.
_screenshoot For exampel you load a City navigator 9NT with 'DrawPriority' value 20 and a topomap(without routing)  with value 25 on GPS, then you will show the topo on display but routing works with CN. You can get the Software as Demoversion with some limitations or as full version without any limitations . There is the DOWNLOADSITE. The limitations of the Demoversion are : works 14 days. More detail read on german-language-site
Screenshoot Also you can automatically correct the registry, to make the registry compatible for 'Mapsource' Version 6.14.3 or newer. Software is tested on Windows NT,XP,VISTA and Windows7. Not tested on ME ,2000, but it should work. Have a problem ?  email me :
webmaster@img2ms.de.
There you can send me a problemfile for analysis.
Screenshoot How the software works : Software procreated a .TDB-file and a preview-file. It used a freeversion of cgpsmapper.exe version100b. For cgpsmapper the copyright is by http://cgpsmapper.com. CGPSMAPPER.COM. Or use a older version 97 from mirrorsite.
Four steps to go : 1: select the img-files. Img-files must named with 8 numbers and img or filename must end with ..gmapsupp.img. 2 : type in a name for "Mapsource", 3 : only in fullversion : type in a individuall ID-Number. ID-number is always automatically created in a saver way. Demoversion uses only ID-number 1001. 4 :  click  'next step/add to mapsource'. That's all.
Screenshoot Another method is to use existing .tdb and preview-files (optionaly also .mdx and _mdr.img and .trf files files. Typicaly OSM-mapsets has such files in the download. In this case you can register it in the registry without using cgpsmapper/cpreview. The software can also delete mapsets from "Mapsource".
Also you can analyse the registry. If there are failed keys, it can kill the failed keys. In this case, the failed keys will displayes as '!!Fehler!!'.
Screenshoot You can select a homemade typefile or from internet and then the graphic will change like typfile is made. This is possible for all mapset, also for locked mapsets and mapsets in the new 'GARMIN'-gmp-format.. The Software can add any typ-file for existing mapset's. FID will automatically corrected.
