Map image names on a eTrex Legend HCx

 

Hi,
This is the first time I am posting here.
I am hoping that someone can answer this question for me.
I have a eTrex Legend HCx with a 2GB card.
I know that it will read gmapsupp.img map with no problems at all.
But it will not see the map gmapsup2.img on the card.
I have tested this on a Nokia 5800 and a Garmin nüvi 1200
The both see gmapsupp.img and gmapsup2.img Which I can turn on and off when needed.
But I am not able to this it with the eTrex Legend HCx.
Do I have to name the gmapsup2.img to some other name??
Plus just to make sure there was no problems with the gmapsup2.img I renamed it to gmapsupp.img. and gmapsupp.img to gmapsup2.img
Turned on the Etrex and I could see the other map. but not the first one.
This is my directory setup on the 2 GB card.
\Garmin
\Garmin\POI
\Garmin\GPX
No problems to see items in these folders

I know that the Garmin nüvi 1200 see maps in a folder called \MAP
and on the Nokia 5800 it see it in a folder call Garmin.

Thanks

The eTrex does not have the ability to see multiple GMAPSUPP.IMG files.

There's no way to do it.

You need to use MapSource to compile all the map tiles into single mapset in a single .IMG file.

Note that a mapset can contain map tiles from many different map products.
