[mkgmap-dev] FW: NSIS option for Basecamp

[Joris Bo]

Hi Diego,

Do you want NSIS to install the map on the device or do you use basecamp to 
install the map on teh device?

I also use nsis to install the map in basecamp but do not use it to install it 
on the device.
You can additionally use the mkgmap option -gmapsupp to create a single 'img' 
file containing all the separated tiles combined en afterwords copy that file 
manually (or scripted) to your SD card. Your garmin device will detect it.

When installing from basecamp I had to manually upgrade mapinstall 421.exe I 
managed to get it to work, but still stopped using this, since the single file 
created by gmapsupp option is much easier.

Kind regards,
Joris

Hello
I need help with the NSIS option. I use it to create an installer of my map for 
Basecamp. It works, but I am not able to load small parts of the map to my 
device: I can only load the full map, not the single tiles or a selection of 
them.
My map is complete with DEM and contours and it works good both on Basecamp and 
on the device (just a little slow when loading). 
Can anybody help me please?
Many thanks !

Diego

Hi Diego,

First question: did you create different tiles? I don’t know how, but it’s 
possible to create a “one image map” (to be installed on device).
To verify: select and view - installation - folder and count the number of 
tiles (*.img files).

Maps are not installed by BaseCamp but by MapInstall. Latest version: 4.2.4.
Changes made from version 4.2.0 to 4.2.1: "Fixed installing 3rd party maps".

Procedure:
 - BaseCamp: Devices, select device, “Install Maps on ...”.
 - MapInstall: Select Map(s).
 - Advanced/Partial Install (bottom left side).
 - Zoom (-) to see all tiles.
- Select tile(s): left mouse click.
- Deselect tile(s): right mouse click.
 - Bottom listbox: “(192 Selected HIKE_Benelux)” or select different map (and 
select tiles).
 - Install: only selected Maps will show in list of “Installed Maps” (not 
number of tiles “Selected”, not “partial” or “complete”)

Hi Diego,

not sure how you transfer small parts of the map to the device. If you do that 
with Basecamp please make sure that you use the latest version.
See here for more details:

If this doesn't help please describe more detailed what you try to do, what you 
expect and what you get instead.
