Like paper maps, a country or region is split into

several smaller maps. All Garmin maps have the

extension '.img'. Before these maps can be used

on the GPS unit, the maps have to be bundled in

a single container. Usually, Garmin own software

MapSource bundles the maps and stores it in the

Garmin folder of the unit's memory.

Garmin supports the following container files:

gmapbmap.img Typically this is the preloaded

base map.

gmapprom.img Typically this contains the

preloaded detailed maps.

gmapsupp.img Typically the maps uploaded by

Garmin MapSource.

Hooray! Your file is uploaded and ready to be published.
