    My men - Couldn't believe the prompt, quality and professional level of support from forum members!. You rock and I highly appreciate you two arvik67 and Garmin_Nuvi. You made my day easier. I will follow the installation steps in your previous post and will let you know soon!

    Hello arvik67 and Garmin_Nuvi,

    The maps work like a charm on my SD card, actually I placed 2 img files in the MAP folder and the device recognize both of them. This means, I can load other country map to my machine and select them when I dive in those countries. Pretty neat!

    Thanks again and you all have a nice day!

    Default SD Card setup with multiple countries

    Hello,

    Technically (proved), we can save countries img into SD card under Map folder to use on a Garmin device. The City Navigator package from Garmin contains several folder such as JCV, SID, SQLite, POI, ect. stored in the Garmin folder on the SD card.

    My question here is assume that I have Thailand and the UK maps stored in the Map folders, will combining JCV, SID, POI, SQLite from individual folder of the City Navigator package for each country into SD Garmin/JCV, SID, POI, SQElite folders make the Gamin function correctly? What I mean here is if I dive in the UK, the device will use UK's JCV, SID, etc files and when I am in Thailand, it will be using the Thai's JCV, SID, POI, etc files.

    If the above don't work, what would be your suggestion beside setup (delete, copy and paste) the SD card to the country that I am going to visit prior to use the Garmin device there

    Appreciate your hints on the above

    Best regars

    As long as the map .img have unique names in the map folder they will work all the files can go in their respective folders as they have different names already.
    As I said in my original reply the SQLite files work better if they are put in the SQLite folder on the device .system/SQLite/xxxxx.db
