Presumably thanks to the work of Mark Burton (see [mkgmap-dev] Find by name - experimental patch 28/01/09) then this is now working. I used r856 and can now search with or without the basemap Thanks Paul Paul wrote:
Yes the gmapbmap.img is the base map.
Without the base map file I can't manually enter names at all. As soon as I try to enter the first letter the unit crashes and turns itself off (it searches each time you enter a letter so you don't have to type the full place name)
I have noticed that with the base map if I start entering letters then it will show me places starting with those letters in other countries (quite possibly all europe) rather than just the UK.
I updated to r849 today and this still persists but I don't know whether it's designed to only search the base map or not.
Thanks
Paul

I've never heard of a gmapbmap.img. My assumptions, but they may be totally wrong:
From the name i would think, this is the basemap. I think, in the generated gmapsupp.img is some information for places missing, so the garmin unit tries to read this information from the basemap. If this informations are also missing then the unit will crash.
