If in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Garmin\MapSource\Products\ subkey of Windows registry subsections with numbers which I have defined for my maps already exist you need to create subkey with number which no in Products subkey. Accordingly you should create new files - preview file and tdb file.
At first load cGPSmapper.exe software from this link www.cgpsmapper.com. Install it on your computer. By default folder for the programm will be C:\Program Files\cGPSmapper. Then all explanations concern this folder. Therefore if you install cgpsmapper.exe in other directory correspondingly correct my explanation.
Explanation
- copy the file with map in the folder C:\Program Files\cGPSmapper
- name of the map file should consist 8 digits, rename it if not. Names of my maps already consist 8 digits.
- copy test_pv.txt file from folder C:\Program Files\cGPSmapper\Test_Map in the folder C:\Program Files\cGPSmapper.
- edit test_pv.txt file in C:\Program Files\cGPSmapper folder.
- find [Map] section, where :
a) change FileName property. The value isn't important. It will be name for the files (write without extension)
b) MapVersion - any number between 100 and 999
c) ProductCode - this is most important parameter. You should write number of subkey which no in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Garmin\MapSource\Products\ subkey. It should be more than 40
d) Level0 - should match the BIT value for the last (empty) level set in MapEdit for the map. If you don't understand what is it write 17 for my maps
e) Level1 - should be lower by one than Level0. For my maps it's 16
f) Zoom0 - should be higher by one the bigger MapSource zoom or 7 depending on what less. If you don't understand what is it write 7 for my maps
g) Zoom1 - should be higher by one than Zoom0. For my maps it's 8
h) MapsourceName - the value isn't important. It will be shown in listbox of MapSource available maps
i) MapSetName , CDSetName - the value isn't important. It will be shown in tab-sheet 'Maps' and in box 'Map Set Name' of MapSource
- find [Files] section, where change img property on file name of the map (with extension) - 00000034.img
- Save all changes.
- cgpsmapper.exe soft is DOS-programme and you need to work with command line. If you have any file manager which can work with command line (e.g. Far Manager) use it. Otherwise start Command Line utility from Start - Programmes - Standard - Command Line. Now you should change folder from default to C:\Program Files\cGPSmapper\. For this type chdir c:\program files\cgpsmapper\ and press Enter button. After type cgpsmapper.exe pv test_pv.txt and press Enter button.
- Three new files appear in C:\Program Files\cGPSmapper\ folder. They have names which you have written in FileName parameter of [Map] section. File of the registry you may delete (the file has extension reg). TDB file, img file and the map move in a folder. Now you can attach the map to MapSource.
