#UPDATED 2015 MAPSOURCE MAPS FREE UPDATE#
Given that GarminMapUpdater is still of use, it's surprising that Garmin continues to have the DEM filename error and hasn't revised the map update file or GarminMapUpdater program to end this error. But from past experience, Garmin has had to tell folks to use GarminMapUpdater when GE fails on a map update. I realize that the DEM issue may only occur with GarminMapUpdater and that Garmin is steering us towards using Garmin Express instead. I haven't tested it since I'm not near a city with 3D bldg. I can also report that the current map update also revises and updates the 3D map file. Renaming the file returns the DEM display. With the D filename, the DEM map does not display. I updated my 3597 with GarminMapUpdater and also had the same issue as has occurred with previous map updates: the DEM map (the same filesize and likely the identical DEM map as before) was renamed D224800B.img from the correct gmapdem.img. Take a look in particular at postings in the categories for Garmin, GPS and GPX.For those who have units that also use the DEM file to display the ground rendering effects a new DEM file was downloaded but I had to rename that file to "gmapdem" to get it to display the ground rendering effects properly.Īgreed.

If you poke around this site, you’ll find other useful free GPS software that does some of what MapSource does, plus many things that MapSource doesn’t. Export waypoint, route and track data directly to Google Earth.Save point, route or track data in gdb, mps, gpx, tab-delimited text and DXF formats.It comes with a world road basemap, and you can add maps from free sources like SmellyBiker, MetroWizzz or the Garmin Maps site, or even make your own.Create waypoints, routes and tracks the track editor in particular is easy to use.Open files in gdb, mps, gpx and loc formats.If you have a Garmin GPS, it’s good for uploading and download data, including maps if your Garmin unit supports them and you have the data.But since that process installs an original copy of MapSource on your computer, that makes the above irrelevant for you.Īn alternate method is described here, but I haven’t tried it out myself. If you have any additional map data you’ve purchased (like Topo, City Navigator, MetroGuide), you’ll need to re-install that from the original data disks. Note: this will only have the MapSource base road data.

Once this software is installed, you can download and install the MapSource update file, and the full version of MapSource will be up and running on your computer (confirmed this on a system of my own). First, download and install a copy of Garmin’s free Training Center software, designed mainly for use with their fitness GPS units (ForeRunner and Edge). Try and install it directly, and it will abort after telling you it can’t find a previous version.There’s a way around that “earlier version” limitation that lets those with a legitimate reason install MapSource on their computer. But if you’ve lost or misplaced your install disk, you’re out of luck while Garmin has a downloadable updated version of MapSource on their website, it requires that you have the earlier version installed on your disk. tracks, routes, etc to and from Garmin GPS units. Most current Garmin GPS units come with a free version of MapSource, their software for uploading data/maps and downloading waypoints. See this tutorial at the GPS File Depot for more info.

Note: Garmin’s free BaseCamp software can now be used to view and install any mapsets, including non-Garmin ones it’s not as good as MapSource, but it is free, and is also available for both PC and Mac.
