MapSelect': a new program to select maps in your Garmin or storage card
One problem with Garmin devices is that very few filenames are accepted as valid map names. Normally MapSource creates a map called 'gmapsupp.img'. Also unlocked maps are also mainly offered under the same name.
A good example: on a Nüvi device with storage card of 4G, only one map will be found: 'gmapsupp.img'! Internally also the mapsnames gmapprim.img and gmapprom1.img are allowed.
It would be nice to have more maps on your device, but also an easy way to select them. So, here it is a little PC program that makes it easy to select from up to ten maps on a Garmin device and storage card. It's posted here and not in PC section just like JM Keygen, as nobody looks for Garmin tools there.
The trick now is to give your maps names that are a bit different such as gmapsupa.img, gmapsupb.img etc. Then the program 'MapSelect' allows you to rename them to maps that Garmin sees as valid.
As a bonus, the program can edit the map name embedded in the file!

The rar file contains the program, detailed description how to use it and some screenshots.
