[QUOTE="yamafitter, post: 953069, member: 15141"] I think what happens when you upload the map from the GPS into the software is what really happens is that the GPS just points to those sections of the map already loaded with the software that the GPS is using. As you already know when you load a map onto the Garmin GPS, there is a [COLOR=#1C2837][SIZE=10px]gmapsupp.img loaded into a Garmin folder on either the SD card or the main memory in the Garmin depending on your preferences. The gmapprom.img file in memory is the original base map that comes with the Garmin and is not very useful for our purposes.[/SIZE][/COLOR][SIZE=10px][/SIZE] [SIZE=10px][COLOR=#1c2837]My other question is when you buy either lifetime updates or just a single update does Garmin give you just an .img file that only updates the GPS or does Garmin send send you an updated .gmap file that can be used with the software. I have read through all the material on updates on the Garmin website but it is not clear to me what they are selling you.[/COLOR][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
