Maps in *.gmap format installation directory

Is there a unique directory where maps in *.gmap format can be installed? I would like to change my current installers to use gmap format instead of the old format, but I don't know what is the right directory to install them. In my XP virtual box if I copy gmap folder in c:\archivos de programa(program files)\Garmin\Maps maps are read by MapSource, but not by BaseCamp. If I copy gmap folder in C:\Archivos de programa\Garmin\Basecamp\Maps then they are read by BaseCamp, but not by MapSource. And what about more recent versions of Windows?

For all w7 and 10 you can just dump the gmaps in c:\programdata\garmin\maps There is no need to register your product This works for both Basecamp and Mapsource To be honest , Garmin Express allows you to install city navigator anywhere on your pc, BUT uses registry (Installed) I have also come across the following: apart from the above C:\Users\{user}\AppData\Roaming\GARMIN\Maps (hidden folder!) or c:\documents and settings\all users\application data\garmin\maps (Win XP) r Nick On 18/12/2017 15:34, Carlos Dávila wrote:

using XP the right path is on a german-layout machine : :C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All Users\Anwendungsdaten\Garmin\Maps. W7,W8,W10 : C:\ProgramData\GARMIN\Maps\ regards thomas -------------------------------------------------- Von: "Carlos Dávila" <cdavilam@orangecorreo.es> Datum: Montag, 18.

Or you use %PROGRAMDATA%\GARMIN\Maps\. That should ever be the right place and undependent from language or OS. Frank --- Diese E-Mail wurde von Avast Antivirus-Software auf Viren geprüft. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

You can store the gmap folders anywhere, and make a shortcut of this folder. Put this shortcut in the default garmin folder(s) . Or use Javawa GMTK, this tool will do that for you. ________________________________ Van: mkgmap-dev <mkgmap-dev-bounces@lists.mkgmap.org.uk> namens Frank Stinner <Frank.Stinner@kabelmail.de> Verzonden: maandag 18 december 2017 08:53:53 Aan: mkgmap-dev@lists.mkgmap.org.uk Onderwerp: Re: [mkgmap-dev] Maps in *.gmap format installation directory Or you use %PROGRAMDATA%\GARMIN\Maps\.
