![]() 4.0 DOES have this but it apparently doesn't work right. Memory size available as a combination of both internal and external memory. Once done, the maps would go on to be combined into. Tapping "Next" would then call up the Germany map. When he taps "Next" the map screen should change and pull up England and Ireleand for the end user to select tiles from. Thus our end user with his three countries would select tiles (or tap the "Select/Deselect All" toggle) for the US map. For example If an end user has three maps (US, England and Ireland, Germany) selected out of his total collection, each press of the "Next" button should take the end user to the next map in line until all the maps are done. With POI Loader, manually loading the POIs calls up each and every POI file in the given directory and gives you the option to ignore it when creating the. What this means is that the software should function much like POI Loader. Each compatible map that is selected in point 1 above appears in sequence. Providing a simple "Select All" button or even better, a "Select/Deselect All" toggle button, would simplify the map screen for new users because they can simply hit the button to select the entire map and go to the next map in their collection (if they have one).ģ. While the tiles can be mass deselected using CTRL and a mouse click, it's always better to opt-in than opt-out. In 4.0, once you get to the "advanced functions" you are presented with all the tiles in a given map already selected. On the tile selection screen tiles should not be selected by default and there should be a "Select Entire Map" button. Next to each is a question: Install this map? and either a drop down box with "yes" or "no", or else a pair of checkboxes, one marked "yes" and the other marked "no".Ģ. Instead of the current system of color coding and drop down boxes with esoteric options, you have a list of compatible maps. A simplified checklist of compatible maps. ![]() Seriously, the old MapInstall interface was perfectly fine, but could have benefited from the following:ġ. This dumbing down of the interface to appeal to Joe Average was not well thought out, because by dumbing down the interface as they have they have alienated the more advanced users. I did have to reassign the Start Menu shortcut to start the old Mapinstall.exe in the c:\Garmin directory. Update: Uninstall did remove 4.0.0 and even its directory. I think I'll try uninstalling 4.0.0 (and hoping it doesn't trash the old 3.1.5) and wait for 4.0.1. For now I would recommend not upgrading to 4.0 since they have some kinks to be worked out. ![]() Until then I think I'll be sticking with 3.15 since 4.0 feels too dumbed down for me.ĮDIT: Apparently issues have already been found with 4.0, including the old version of MapInstall not being removed. Does a new map image get created and the old one replaced? Do the various maps get combined into one gigantic image file? How does one only update one map?Ī comprehensive help file, which I haven't found yet, would be useful. ![]() My main issue is that it isn't clear what happens with maps that haven't changed. Actually trying out the new version I'm finding myself not liking it too much at the moment.
