Download garmin roadtrip

Computer this long trying to figure this out. Roadtrip for the mac is the rough equivalent of mapsource for the pc. GarminMac Been here awhile Joined: Apr 4, 2008 Oddometer: 147 Matt,Connect your Zumo to your Mac. Look for a volume named something like "GARMIN" or "ZUMO" on your desktop. Open it up and browse to the "Garmin" folder. Inside the "Garmin" folder you should see a file named gmapsupp.img. This is the map that you sent from MapInstall. You can safely delete this file and then unplug your Zumo. For more information on Garmin's Mac software visit But in the meantime, you are correct in thinking that RoadTrip will allow you to create routes and send them to your Zumo. g r a n t Been here awhile Joined: Feb 5, 2006 Oddometer: 745 Location: 0,0 Hi All,So, I've been loving RoadTrip and getting lots of use out of my Zumo 450. However, today I happened to notice my hard drive was running out of space. I did clean up the usual suspects but also ran Omni Disk Sweeper to find other culprits. I was surprised to see Garmin hit the top of the list. Apparently the file namedAlldata.gdb.bakwas listed at 38 Gb. NOT Mb, but Gb! Whoa! That's half the capacity of my other laptop. I'm glad I installed it on my desktop. Sheesh.So, my question is:Does anyone know if this is typical of the filesize? Can it be deleted? ".bak" suggests to me it is just a backup file; an extremely large back-up file!Any suggestions out there?Thanks! GarminMac Been here awhile Joined: Apr 4, 2008 Oddometer: 147 Grant,That file size seems quite large! How large is the file named Alldata.gdb?You are correct in thinking that the .bak is a backup, so it can be deleted if necessary...

Windows, because I couldn't deal with the ridiculous slowness, buggy functionality and constant hang-ups and crashes. Sad, but true. Yep I down loaded ... basemap? ??And it looks to suck.I want to edit tracks and way points .....I guess I'll have to run windows too. Perhaps you should try BaseCamp instead -- it does allow you to edit tracks and way points. SnowMule still learning what is and isn't edible Super Supporter Yeh, basecamp isn't bad for waypoint/route management. Could it be better? Absolutely. But it runs without the overhead of windows. I too will admit I didn't read every page of this thread... I've created a bunch of routes/waypoints in RoadTrip on my Mac, sent them to my Zumo 450 and am now trying to transfer that data from the Zumo into MapSource on my laptop without any success. When I try, MapSource just says there are no routes/tracks/waypoints on the device. What's the correct way to achieve this? :huh 4n6iscool Adventurer Joined: Jul 22, 2009 Oddometer: 35 Ok, ready for my stupid questions?First off I have two other Garmin GPSr so I know the interface but my problem is with the computer maps and MapSource.I just bought a Zumo 550. I went ahead and registered it with the Garmin website to download the latest firmware. I then used the unit to check out if everything worked out. It did and it says I have maps "City navigator North America NT 2009 [1] ALL" in my Zumo.So, the next thing I do is place the City Navigator NT North America DVD into my Mac following the instruction on the back thinking it will load Map Source but all that installed was two programs called "Garmin Mapinstall" and "Garmin MapManager" But no MapSource. I thought MapSource is on the DVD.

But it will be recreated next time you run RoadTrip. I'm going to have to look into this one a bit more to pin point what is going on. Thanks for the heads up. g r a n t Been here awhile Joined: Feb 5, 2006 Oddometer: 745 Location: 0,0 Scroll down to the line item illustrating the file size of the file in question. Yikes!Thanks for the quick reply. Seriously, you're involvement here on this forum is incredible. So many companies or products offer such little, or limited support for the products foisted on us that I am often left feeling cheated on my purchase. The Zumo and all your input here on the forum have been wonderful. Ok, enough kudos....I really can't explain the size of this file. I will try deleting it and see if it recreates this size file. I do have several routes and waypoints in My Collection but had no idea it would lead to this. Not sure if anyone can help but I've installed free Greece map ( in RoadTrip and all works fine with contours etc. all showing. When I use MapInstall to load onto my Garmin Etrex HCX all seems to work except that details such as contours and tracks disappear whatever the magnification. It worked once at the start but I deleted that gmapsupp.img to make a better one (what a shame!). What's up with my garmin apps? We're planning a ride to Greece in September then plan to go on walking trips - but without map details we'll be up a creek without a puddle.Any ideas? I've tried reinstalling MapInstall with no success
