GARMIN GPS用戶有時需要將Garmin地圖文件(如 China1001.IMG)轉為MapSource/BaseCamp/MapInstall可用的文件, 以便直接在電腦上看地圖, 或更新GSP的地圖. 雖然網上有些工具可以使用, 但極其繁雜. 俺經過嘔心瀝血的數小時之鑽研, 終於找出一簡便辦法:
1. Install Garmin Trip and Waypoint Manager 5.0 (It may came with your GPS)
2. Find the install folder, such as C:\Garmin\TRIPWPT5. Rename TRIPWPT5.img to TRIPWPT5.Sav, incase you need it later on.
3. Copy *.IMG map file, such as China1001.IMG to the install folder and rename it to TRIPWPT5.img
4. Start Mapsource, BaseCamp or MalInstall, select file -> Trip and Waypoint Manager v5. This is the China1001.IMG map now, not the original map for Trip and Waypoint Manager!
