cgpsmapper mapset00.mp- its 00 not oo
I tried this method, it doesn´t work at all for me.
does not seem to work on W7
doesn't work, stupid chin
I think everyone is getting stuck at the command prompt part you should make it clearer the command to type is:
"gmaptool -S gmapsupp.img"
of course without the quotes. There is a space between gmaptool and the dash S
It works. But this one is better: http://freegeographytools.com/2008/breaking-up-a-garmin-gmapsuppimg-map-file-into-separate-map-tiles
