How to patch unlock garmin img

ir0nm1ke · 31st December 2011, 08:01 PM

I have Mapsource 6.16.3 Patched
I have downloaded Maps from this webstite http: // download.trakmaps.com / TrakMaps_Quad_Quebec_7.0.1.exe (not sure you can see it - added spaces before and after / )
I can load them into MapSource and see all the stuff in it.
I can't put them in the GPS since it's locked
I did run the GarminUnlocker.exe ALL

This is the output
Unlocking all installed MapSource products
Unlocking mapset TrakMaps Quad Québec Summer/Été (Transparent) v7.0.1 [RTM]...not locked
Unlocking mapset TrakMaps Quad Québec Summer/Été v7.0.1 [RTM]...not locked
Unlocking mapset TrakMaps Quad Québec Winter/Hiver (Transparent) v7.0.1 [RTM]...not locked
Unlocking mapset TrakMaps Quad Québec Winter/Hiver v7.0.1 [RTM]...not locked

Whenever I try to do something it tell me it's locked.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Mike

Not sure what you've done wrong, but i've downloaded the TrakMaps, ran the .exe, unlocked them with GarminUnlocker.exe, sent Québec Summer/Été v7.0.1 [RTM] to MobilePC to check it, and it's visable there as a detail map.

1. Install Mapsource (Patched)
2. Install the maps
3. Run the GarminUnlocker (ALL) --- It's still saying Unlocked at that point
4. Open Mapsource and choose the map you want to push to the Garmin Device
5. Push it to the Garmin device (Oregon 450) -- Says the map is locked, please unlock the map

Am I missing something ?

Thank you

newer maps require new tools

Wow amazing, I ran that "Garmin gmap and family maps (Mapsource) unlocker" in ALL folders, and it worked right away !!! W00t !!

I know nothing about the FID part, but I didn't even need it :P

Thanks a bunch !!!

@ir0nmiKe
Sorry, bit late back into this but i see catymag has put you right with using [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] which is the track i was trying to put you on in my first reply at post #29. Unfortunately i didn't see your reply post #30, only #31 which was on a new page. So i didn't realise you you had done 2 consecutive posts... another good reason to use the "edit" function rather that make following posts

.

Caty's advice is (as always) succinct, relevant and the more appropriate. However, just to clear something up:

Am I missing something ?

No, but maybe you tried to use the unlocker from Post#1 in this thread i suppose. Because i hadn't noticed your reply at post #30, i assumed you had followed the links from #29, but for some reason instead of the Gmap & Family Unlocker you were using Garmin Mapsource Unlocker from here: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. The unlocker from the current thread is for patch unlocking a gmapsupp.img file. Both those GarminUnlockers have basically been made redundant by FastImageUnlocker & Garmin gmap and family maps (Mapsource) unlocker because the old ones don't work with newer Garmin maps. As the Trakmaps are not "new" maps i was happy to play along and test unlocking them with the "outdated" (All.bat) unlocker, which of course works. Just to confirm that, i've just deleted all the relevant files from my computer except the downloaded Trakmaps_Quad_Quebec_v7.0.1.exe, run it again, unlocked the generated Trakmaps Quad Quebec Summer/Ete v7.0.1[RTM] folder with GarminUnlocker All.bat and this time sent a gmapsupp.img from patched Mapsource, not to GMPC, but to my Nuvi 1300 which contains no other selected *.img files, only the basemap. The TrakMap is selectable, visable and routable. So, in short, many of the 3rd party Mapsource Version maps currently available may still be unlocked with GarminUnlocker, but there's a better and far more versatile tool around, as there is for unlocking .img files also.
EDIT:

I know nothing about the FID part, but I didn't even need it :P

You need FamilyID/MapId's for unlocking with Jetmouse

@catymag
Thanks for tying up my loose ends again, but at least we've got some new maps out of it this time
