Hello all.

I have a 76C and I'm going on a motorcycle trip across India in a couple of weeks. i want to take my 76C with me to India but i found out that Garmin ONLY sells either a SD card or a downloadable version of the CityNavigator India map, both are not compatible with my device.

However, these maps are compatable with the 76Cx and the 76CSx versions (SD card) and when i called Garmin they tech rep told me that even the downloadable version is not compatible with my 76C (I dont know why). The only version that will work with my unit is the CD ROM versions but unfortunately they dont sell the India maps on a CD rom.

I managed to find the gmapsupp.img version of Garmin CityNavigator India v2. Can I install that on my device? i feel sad that i have to do this but i cant buy a new device just for this trip and because Garmin doesn't have a CD ROM for this map.

Can this IMG file work with my 76C? i tried to use the mapsettoolkit and cgsmapper and all that and the india map showed up on my MapSource but when i try to transfer it to my device it says "some devices were found; however they might not blah blah..."

what am i doing wrong?

Installing a map is not just a matter of getting hold of a copy of the map file. Garmin, at least on the nuvi devices, also has license files, which decide if the map file you are trying to install is licensed for your specific device. A map which is not licensed will not "work" on that device.
