Step 1 : Download and install “Garmin SG/MY″ from Apptrackr.cd
Step 2 : Use iFile to look for the folder where it is installed and go to the “.system” folder (dotSystem not System). It should be in /var/mobile/Applications/SG&MY/garmin-nav.app/storage-singapore-malaysia/.System
Step 3 : Delete the all .img files in the .System folder (you will have to download new map files)
Step 4 : Use iFile to modify the /etc/hosts file, putting (below) and save.
127.0.0.1 www.garmin.com 127.0.0.1 gold.garmin.com 127.0.0.1 bronze.garmin.com
Step 5 : Restart iPhone and open the Garmin program.
Note 1. If you see “Activation of maps require internet connection” it means you didnt delete the .img file in the .System folder.
Note 2. If you see “Authentication failure, must buy original apps from appstore” it means you didnt modify the /etc/hosts file properly.
Step 6 : Use a computer to download a map form malsingmap or mfm. Search for the latest map.
Note 3. So here is a post specifically on how to combine two Garmin maps with the extension .img files. There are several reasons why you would want to do that. The majority does that because their Garmin device only support one map. Get free gmaptool for free.
there are 3 importants step to do: (Picture below)
This section below is for those who wants to upload into their iDevice:
Make sure your “Output file” name is nothing but “gmap3d.img” and only “gmap3d.img”. Using iFunbox again, copy the file back into the same location where you extracted your original file. I would suggest that you delete your original “gmap3d.img” file in your iDevice before you copy this new file over.
Open Garmin in your iDevice. Go to Settings – myMaps. Note that your map is identified with the “Mapset name” that you have specified earlier, in my case, it’s Lollipop. Make sure it is turned on.
Step 7 : Insert the map in the /var/mobile/Applications/SG&MY/garmin-nav.app/storage-singapore-malaysia/.System folder. The map should be named gmap3d.img (some maps you download may be named gmapsupp.img just rename it)
Note 4. If the map is a locked map u have to create a gmapprom.unl file to unlock the map. Put it in the same .System folder.
Step 8 : Finally, make sure the gmap3d.img file has the correct ownership.
to add additional map: name the map with gmapprom1.img or gmapsupp.img or gmap3d1.img
pleasee.. give me the example for the right hosts file.. because the authentication message is still show up on my iphone.. i'am already follow your step but it still not work..
thanks..
on ifile or ifunbox if you don't mind..
thank..
yes pls show us an example on how to type in the above into the hosts file as even I had added in the above sentences, I still get the Garmin app telling me to get a licensed copy
okay i got it done. for those who haven't get it done yet, try to follow this step.
1. install apps and do the authentication part. fyi, the license part is no problem if u follow step by step.
2. then disconnect your phone from internet.
3. open up garmin until it says maps activation requires internet.
4. exit garmin and kill it from your background.
5. use gmaptool and combine your maps just like the step of combining the maps.
6. use ifunbox and simply just copy from pc the custom gmap3d.img.
7. then delete the other unnecessary and unused img file.
8. reboot your phone and open up garmin. and there you go enjoy your garmin.
after add new map it shows no map found
hi, me got no maps show, i pick my old garmin MFM files "GMAPSUPP.img" so I got the main map files, but where to get the "gmap3d.img" (for merging) since the 1st tutorial mention o delete every *.img in .system files ?
