Garmin MapSource is a software to manage your mapsets, routes and waypoints. Garmin MapSource will transfer maps and waypoints to your device. You need special mapset to use with Garmin MapSource. But we have the way to import any Garmin mapset into Garmin Mapsource.

Garmin mapsets require the unlock code to use in Garmin MapSource too. But we have the way to patch unlock any Garmin mapset.

My Locations is the same meaning with WayPoints.

Can you explain more in details regarding the mapsource? Garmin really confuses me alot..

At this link they are talking about merging maps. I haven't done it myself, but wanted to point it out to you anyway.

For those of you who are not confident in using the Hack Toolset (cgpsmapper, gmaptool and maptoolsetkit programs) to make the IMG maps readable by the Garmin MapSource program (I won't get into this....there are lots of articles already out there on it. Google it!!), this is what you can do:

1) name the map1.img to gmapbmap.img and place in Garmin folder
(this is usually the World Base map and is usually not routable)

2) rename map2.img to gmapprom.img and place into Garmin folder. Use the JetMouse keygen (you'll need the mapID no.) to generate the map unlock code. Copy the code and paste into a text file, and name it gmapprom.unl, and place in Garmin folder.

3) rename map3.img to gmapsupp.img and place in Garmin folder. Repeat the process to generate unlock code for the map and name gmapsupp.unl.

4) rename map4.img to gmapsup2.img and place in Garmin folder. Repeat the process to unlock the map, and name gmapsup2.unl

5) rename map5.img to gmapsupp.img and place in Garmin/App/ folder. Repeat the process to unlock the code, and name gmapsupp.unl and place in Garmin/App folder. This last map doesn't always work though.

You can check that everything is working by opening GarminXT>Tools>Manage Maps....all maps should be showing.

Enjoy

PS. you can also use the Garmin unlocker program to unlock all you maps on the computer first, then rename and transferring to Garmin folder on your device
