Thanks, Andy. Unfortunately, this does not seem to work either. It is a .reg file which does not give the option of running as Administrator. I wrote a .bat file to run it, which I can run as Administrator, but still no joy.

Running it direct does create a new set of entries under HKLM/Software/Garmin (which wasn't there before), but running it through the .bat file does not.

I have been compiling OSM maps for Garmin MapSource and my GPS successfully for some time. But I have just changed from Windows XP to Windows 7, and I can't seem to register the maps with MapSource. The equivalent registry changes to those in XP seem to have no effect. Anyone found the answer to this?


Registry updates in Windows 7 don't always go to where you expect if you don't run the thing that updates the registry as Administrator. In the case of new maps, it'll update your personal area which Mapsource won't then look at.

If you run whatever it is that you run to add the maps as administrator (right click the icon and that'll be on the menu) all should be OK.

Cheers,
Andy
