Hi everybody
I also want to buy Metroguide Europe V7 or V8 and download it onto a blank transflash card to use with my I3. V7 is much cheaper at about £40 versus £80 for V8. Are there any big diffe ... |

Hi gcb
Can you explain how to 'examine' GMAPBMAP? I assume you are refering to the .img file Jamas has been talking about.
What software is used?
Sorry if this a daft question. |

Sounds interesing, strumble.
I've searched Garmin.com, but can't find 'Atlantic Basemap' 31MB anywhere as a downloadable. Do you know where it is or is it deleted as the 3600 is discontinued?
Thanks |
