On the Zumo this is done via the "User Data" icon. Step two is to import the routes into the GPS mapping portion of the unit itself. This just puts them in a storage area on the unit, but not visible to the GPS function. Step one (which you seem to have done) is to copy the files to the unit (I tend to put the routes onto a memory card, and then plug that into the Zumo). Which Garmin unit do you have? I have a Zumo, and getting routes into it is a two stage afair. Which folder or icon does it go into to retrieve it? It is only Garminmapupdater causing this issue.Hi have tried planing a route on Mapsource then sent it to GPS but cant find it anyware. I updated my Nuvi 3597 with Garmin Express and DEM file is intact. I really wonder how many Garmin owners with devices that can display DEM maps have lost the DEM map overlay due to this problem.īut all in all, GarminMapUpdater successfully updated my 3597 and computer with the new map, including the DEM map after I manually renamed it.

Given that GarminMapUpdater is still of use, it's surprising that Garmin continues to have the DEM filename error and hasn't revised the map update file or GarminMapUpdater program to end this error. But from past experience, Garmin has had to tell folks to use GarminMapUpdater when GE fails on a map update. I realize that the DEM issue may only occur with GarminMapUpdater and that Garmin is steering us towards using Garmin Express instead. I haven't tested it since I'm not near a city with 3D bldg. I can also report that the current map update also revises and updates the 3D map file. Renaming the file returns the DEM display. With the D filename, the DEM map does not display. I updated my 3597 with GarminMapUpdater and also had the same issue as has occurred with previous map updates: the DEM map (the same filesize and likely the identical DEM map as before) was renamed D224800B.img from the correct gmapdem.img. For those who have units that also use the DEM file to display the ground rendering effects a new DEM file was downloaded but I had to rename that file to "gmapdem" to get it to display the ground rendering effects properly.Īgreed.
