Firstly thank you for the files for North America City. I have dowloaded the 3 rar files under the heading mirror. However, I am not sure what to do with these files to get one img unlocked file to load into my SD card on my Garmin Nuvi 760. Are there any instructions on how to do this? Appreciate your reply
Thank you.
Welcome to the forum.
What you have downloaded are the files for making map sets with a PC with one of two programs Mapsource or BaseCamp which you will have to install first and master.The extracted .gmap folder will need to be copied to C:\ProgramData\Garmin\Maps
It might be easier to just download the unlocked gmapprom.img from Post #1 change its name to gmappsupp and copy it to a SD card, putting it in a Garmin folder you will have to create.
N.America 3.15 GB
To use these on a Garmin Drive Smart 50LM, do I copy/rename the file to sdcard:\\Garmin\gmapsupp.img?
Have you patched your device to use unlocked maps ?
SD card for your device, create two folders Garmin & Map

Just a note here. The SID splitted Zip from Post #1 is now corrupt.
This is not surprising as Splitted RAR or 7-Zip Files usually add recovery files (3 to 5 %) which ensure the complete file can be rebuild any time.
Here the byte split does not provide any recovery when a single corrupt bit appears.
Splitted RAR and 7-Zip which offers more compression than RAR (both compressing more as well more than Zip) with GPS files is the way to go I believe.
Thanks for the heads up & I agree about Winrar as a better option, but I just downloaded with JDownloader unpacked with WinRar without errors. The problem would appear to be on your end?
