Please rem8. ember dont use img file from gmt until you done with cgpsmapper, so the img that want we

use is after process from cgpsmapper. after that we copy the file

in some folder in your local computer, in this exam I use the same folder for Mapsource in my tutorial

c:\garmin\XXXX, then run MapsetToolkit ,and select install a existing map set.

after that MapsetToolkit will add registry to used by Mapsource.

*****

if you want add custom map (img) from Shared map from free map use the select image option and follow

the next step.
