I have a Nuvi 200w and when I first had it I used MapSource and became
fairly familiar with it. I then did a back up of the software. I have had
problems with the PC that has the backup and have tried to restore it -
however one file eludes me - it is named as "Garmin_rmu_cneunt2010" The icon
represents an open box. I am guessing this is the city Navigator programme
which Mapsource claims is missing.

Any ideas on how I can restore it. I am still searching for my original CD.

Regards

John Plant

No help from me, but just a suggestion for posting. Do not type your
responses below your sig line. As you can see on my response here, your
response does not show.

From what I've read on the Garmin forums, MapSource is no longer being
developed. Garmin recommend using BaseCamp as a replacement. That's what I
use.

And while you're at it, a descriptive Subject Line goes a long way to
make it more likely you'll receive help. "Help" only subject lines evoke
images of a 4-year old whining for his mommy...

I've installed MapSource and BaseCamp, but I prefer MapSource (I'm used
to it).

arn't there some chicken vs egg issues with trying to install MapSource ?

I seem to recall that it complained
that there were no Garmin licensed map products,
and therefore would not install...

I have several Garmin maps on the same PC,
but not sure what the problem was at the time,
as maybe they were not correctly identified
within the /Garmin/ registry entries.

Easily worked around. You can't even finish typing "install mapsource"
into Google before answers appear.

I have (literally) dumped Mapsource maps and installed OpenMaps. I even
started to contribute to it (in a very tiny way)
Why pay if there are free maps?
