I think I may be biting off more than I can chew, but....what is the first step with Mapsource open, to create a .img file from the unpacked download files?

I don't see how to open the downloaded map files in Mapsource. Thanks.

Thanks! I had an older map in C:\ProgramData\Garmin\Maps, and didn't read/reread the first post.
As for waiting, I figured I would/should try this to develop myself a bit.
I'm in the process now and I'll see how it goes in a few hours.

Thanks again.

Edit :Everything seemed to have worked well for me, thanks!
2 questions though on the settings within Mapsource. I see you have "Medium" selected and no check for Include route calculation data.
I chose "Highest" and did not have the option to check the route box.
From what I read the route check box doesn't apply anymore.

Is that correct and does the "medium" vs other setting affect the maps generated?

No all the settings you are talking about are to do with how you use/view MapSource on your PC.
The only influence on the map output is what you select (size) & how you name it (Display name)

If you just ask the members in this thread what area you actually need this map for & what device you have there are many that will create one for you while you learn how to make map sets yourself.
