Garmin MapSource question
|
|
|
| Garmin GPS 60csx
Is there any way to avoid having insert the CDROM every time
you want the data read/written to the 60csx? It insists on it,
even after I copied all the CDs to the C:\ drive.
I don't want to needlessly wear out the CDROM drive.
Anyone got it to successfully read the MapSource data from the hard
drive?
P.S. my version is the one before 2008 MapSource.

Have you tried copying the complete contents of the CD to a folder on
the hard drive then installing from there?

What do you mean "copied all the CDs"? And what map product are you
using? Not the version of MapSource, but the name and version of the
map product itself.
The current versions of City Navigator have an option to install all
the data onto your PC's internal storage so you never have to use the
distribution media again.

YES and NO depending on what you do at your end.
YES, if you install a complete CD to computer
NO, if you just copy to hard drive (just a waste of disk space but doing
nothing).

The laser never touch the CD's surface so you don't have to worry about
wearing out (except scratching it). And you can always make a copy of the
CD

Most people do. Read the solution above

It's v8 then.

Copy the directory with the IMG files from CD to the harddisk.
Change the path from the CDROM to the new directory in the registry.

Make sure you don't make any mistakes in the registry! Any mistake may
result in mapsource refusing to start.

There are moving bits in the CD drive itself though such as the main
bearing which presumably wear out eventually.

| Why take the chance of destroying the registry when all that has to be done
is use the install program on the data CD to install the data to the hard
drive. Read the install instructions if you are capable of reading....

| First I tried making a copy of the run CD, it doesn't work their must be
some really good copy guard on it. Second I installed all the files from
both discs to the hard drive in Folders disc 1 and 2 and installed the
program from their. That does not work it's still looking for the disc even
though it's running from the hard drive. I give up.
