Mapuploader 4.89+ contains a tool to check a conflict of mapids and fids of gmapsupps on your device. There is nothing more frustrating then having just created a gmapsupp which shows perfectly in Mapsource or Basecamp but does not appear on your Garmin device.Īnswer: two or more gmapsupps on your device share the same Map ID or FID. Why is my gmapsupp not showing on my device? Mapuploader 4.89+ contains a tool which checks the Map IDs and FIDs of all gmapsupps on your device. The FID is the same for all maps and therefore is not located in the map section (RGN etc) A gmapsupp contains multiple maps, each with a different ID these are generally numbered sequentially. It does not matter if your 'map descriptions' or 'map names' are different but do make sure your base Map ID is the same and your FID as well. There is no point recalculating as it simply will not work!Ĭheck Map ID and FID of your gmapsupp on your device and use the same when creating your new map. 'This route does not match the available maps.

When you update a map and click on a 'Recent Find' more than likely you will get the following message:

How to keep 'Recent Finds' when updating your gmapsupp

I recently had a case when the transparent hotels (0x 2b01) on my device were always replaced by an icon I used previously.Īnswer: the icon for 2b01 was taken from another gmapsupp EVENTHOUGH it had been disabled!

There is some evidence to suggest that the stream contains distance / length and or angle The last 8 digits (2 little-endian bytes) are related It implies that the stream of data contains information about the highway itself, Routing starts on a railway line 0x1400 ! The same result appears when you try and route a car on a footpath! Implying that the first 12 digits (3 bytes) are grouped and refer to the road type. The first entry refers to the routing type: When you examine a Garmins gpx file you often get a mysterious number of bytes after ie These are not text files and require a special compiler such as GPSBabel - however, editors tend to leave out crucial data contained in a gpi file.įor more information on its structure and how to create your own gpi editor Garmin uses gpi files in their sat navs to add POIS (important points - petrol stations,hotels,speed cameras etc) to their maps. These are not text files information can be extracted to edit your POIS or even create new ones. GPI files contain data about the POIs used by sat-navs, such as speed cameras,petrol stations,supermarkets etc. More then likely, your device contains a FIT file.FIT files are more complex and cannot be read as a txt file.Garmin prefers FIT files to GPX has they can contain additional information like hear rate, temperature,cadence etc.It converts the latest FIT files including Strava Segments.

FIT ConVerter is a new FREE GUI for Windows.It also explains why TOPO Germany / France have their detail level set so high, even if you select the 'lower' map option.Īt present, such options are not available via mkgmap or cgsmapper. The effect is very striking but perhaps not very useful except if you wish to force a particular tile to show more detail. The tile still shares the map's various zoom levels., ie 17,19,20,22,24 but three of them for this tile have been flagged to show greater detail. It is possible to set the detail level of a single tile (img file), a technique used by Garmin in some of the TOPO maps.
