If anyone is following these directions and still having problems, try using the name gmapsupp.img For me, this only worked when the name of the file was changed to gmapsupp.img instead of gmappsupp.img I don’t know why this is, but I am using the eTrex Legend Cx.

I hope I also explained that I am not going to purchase MapSource until Garmin implements their promised Mac OS X support, hence the “combine map” problem still exists for Mac users (or for PC users who don’t want to spend money on MapSource). There is another advantage of Mapsource in that it is capable of marking the map in a manner that allows it to compute trip paths/turn by turn directions, etc. @wim: I hope described that process above of how one uses a Mac to get mapsource img’s onto the microSD card.

[those must be exchanged!] by the way: what MapSource does is combining several IMG’s (of a country, or even different countries) to 1 combined gmappsupp.img.

I save all the gmappsupp.img's I make with MapSource. so I can change easily maps in my Garmin. in fact, there must be a exchange program (P2P?) for all kinds of gmappsupp.img's.... :-) connecting the GPS receiver to the Mac can be changed into:
