GPS is a topic that I have not touched because I still haven’t got one. A good GPS unit can be quite expensive and I am still waiting when I have saved enough money for it. GPS is very impressive but scary at the same time because the satellites can actually track where I am. Think about it, if the US military uses GPS to hit their target, it is surely very accurate.

I do have some experience with GPS because I borrowed from my friend a few times and managed to know how to find a location, updating the unit software and also looking for the latest maps. The menu on the GPS unit is pretty straight forward and easy to understand but the technical part such as putting more than one gmapsupp.img file on the GPS unit or even using the JetMouse keygenerator can be pretty tough and confusing to a novice user.

Mapsource BlueChart CD. By Garmin USA. CD-ROM Currently unavailable. NewPower99 Battery Replacement Kit with Battery, Video Instructions and Tools for Garmin Nuvi 1450. 4.5 out of 5 stars 62. Get it as soon as Wed, Aug 21. FREE Shipping on orders over $25 shipped by Amazon. Can I copy Mapsource topo maps to my hard drive? I plan to keep a copy on my desktop machine (while I'm plotting to take over the world) and another on my laptop (while I'm out actually taking over the world). The licensing agreement seems to allow for that. But, boy, I don't want to move that CD back and.

Anyway, since I do not have a GPS unit, I am sure I can somehow view the maps in my computer without the GPS tracking capability. I found out that MapSource, a software provided by Garmin is able to create, view and edit waypoints, routes and tracks as well as to find items, addresses and POIs.

All sounds good and I actually found a link to download the latest MapSource from Garmin’s official website. When I tried to install, I got the error message:

Previous MapSource not found! Setup will terminate.

It seems like the file that I downloaded is an update and not the full installation setup. Luckily there is a trick on how to install MapSource without having the original installation CD.

1. Download the latest MapSource from Garmin.

2. When finished downloading, if you use archiving software such as 7-Zip, WinRAR or PowerArchiver, you can right click on the file that you downloaded and extract. If you’re unsure, you can use Universal Extractor to extract the MapSource installation file.

The extracted files can also be found in the Windows Temp folder if you know how to get there because some folders in the Temp path are hidden. Run the installer and when you see the Welcome screen go to the Temp folder. Look for a folder with 7zxxx.tmp (the x’s are random characters) for a name which contains a file called MSmain.msi inside with several other files. Copy that whole folder to your chosen location.

3. Open the extracted MapSource folder . You should see a number of files and folders. Now run MSmain.msi first, wait for it to complete (there will be no windows to click on) and then run Setup.exe. Follow the instructions to complete the installation.

If you do not have any maps installed for MapSource, you might see an error window that says “MapSource could not find any installed MapSource map products. Please install one or more MapSource map products and start MapSource again”. There are some maps for MapSource that cost money and some free. If you want to take a look how MapSource works, here’s a free Australia map. Just download, install and then run MapSource. The Australia map will be automatically loaded in MapSource.

I have found a site with free maps to cover a large proportion of the world, just make sure to read the FAQ on how to install and select the map in MapSource. The website is OpenStreetMap and all you do is select your area in the dropdown boxes, click the link to go to the download page. Then download the Windows file and install it. I’ve tried a few and they seem to work.

Hi Raymond
Worked great. Installed fine on my new Dell XPS13 9260 (Windows 10). I still use Mapsource. Simpler and faster than Basecamp.
Thanks for taking the time to document this procedure.

A big thank you! I had my dvd but my ultrabook had no dvd tray so this work around was perfect.

LudiaRibar3 years ago

Very nice. Big Thank YOU!

Actually I used WinRAR as an extractor. As I never could find the new folder that had the extracted files in it by looking in Windows Temp folder. Perhaps 7-zip created it in my download folder and I just did not see it. But I found a folder named MapSource_6163 in the download folder when I finally used WinRAR. Most likely 7-zip worked I did not see the new folder.

This system worked well Many Thanks,

banoo3 years ago

Thanks so much for sharing a good trick

Unless I’m mistaken, there’s an even easier method. Change the extension of any file to .exe and Mapsource should install with no troubles.

Hi Raymond,

Here is for Indonesian map website:

navigasi.net/

A more simple way to install: create the Garmin folder in the Program Files and copy whatever file you want into it. Then rename that file to MapSource.exe. Presto!

Hi here is my expirience with the usage of Maps from different Regions.

I own a StreetPilot® c510 preloaded for Europe.
I updated this device with Germany + BENELUX (internal Storage) and Europe excluding Germany + BENELUX (opional SD-Card).
This configuration is proper working in Europe including address entering, FAVORITES and POIs.

For my trip to Canada last year I licensed a North America Map and loaded this Map to a second SD-Card. I replaced the EUROPE SD-Card by the NA SD-Card and loaded some Canadian POIs to the Device.

Now in EUROPE I could enter canadian Adresses and could use the FAVORITES Menue to show the Map in the Device. I could not access canadian POIs.

Arrived in CANADA I could enter canadian Adresses and could use the FAVORITES Menue to show the Map in the Device. I could also access canadian POIs. Only the EUROPEAN POIs was now not available.

Als ik bij 1 op downloaden klik wordt het bestand MapSourceUnitedStatesTOPOBasemapPatch.exe binnen gehaald. Dit kan ik niet uitpakken en op het bestand main.msi uitvoeren.
Als ik het bestand installeer dan krijg ik de melding: Previous MapSource-US Topo installation not found!
Setup will now terminate.

Ook heb ik Tracks4Australia (1.20).exe geinstalleerd.

Kunt u mij helpen?

Verify that the file exists and that you can access it

I tried it with MapSource 6.15.6 as well as the older version 6.13.6.

Cheers for the guide Raymond, just a FYI though – as of Mapsource v.6156 ‘main.msi’ has been renamed ‘MSMAIN.msi’

max10 years ago

looking at the picture you attached.
I see that you have a lot of european maps.
I just need the french one.
My garmin nuvi 265T is already pre-loaded with North america.
Do you think I can add just the french map?
Do you know how I can hold of a french map?
thanks

Very useful tip.
Here you have a map source of southern southamerica, Patagonia included:

proyectomapear.com.ar/

It’s a spanish writen site but it has an english basic instalation tutorial. You only have to become a member and then you can start to download maps. You will have to activate your account (from your mailbox) within 24 hours from receipt confirmation message.

Raymond, nice site.

I don’t have a dedicated GPS machine either. But… recently – through eBay- I picked up a several year old Itronix 260+ rugged lappy. Good price and it has a GPS receiver built in. I’ve found a good deal of open source s/w for it as well, but I haven’t spent much time with it yet.

Is there a free Malaysia Map available?

Thank you …

yes R, yes Gali , and the gouvernement doesen’ listen to your phones cause is immoral.

Freek10 years ago

Gali is a 100% correct. They do not return data so storing your positions is impossible.

Thanks for the useful info … as usual !

To add some maps, here is a link gpsmapsearch.com/

Rgds,

Bob

R10 years ago

^^ Yep Gali is correct, Satellites have NO way of seeing where you are with a conventional GPS device, they only receive the satellite signals and do not transmit anything back to the satellites themselves.

“scary at the same time because the satellites can actually track where I am”

Raymond, that not true at all. GPS is passive possitioning system. Bassicaly, GPS sattelites sends specific signals and according them GPS client identify location over the Earth. Its one way signal like classical sattelite TV. So sattelites know anything about your position.
Bye.
