Ok, I just tried downloading this map, configuring it, then sending it to my Zumo and I got it to work. It took some fiddling, but here is what I did:

Downloaded one of the IMG files from
Map list

Created a directory on my disk called c:\Garmin\Custom

Copied the img file that I just downloaded into there (i.e. c:\garmin\custom\11000204.img)

Downloaded the free version of cGPSmapper from cGPSmapper - Your Tool For Creating Maps
you don't need to buy it if it's only for personal use.

Installed the software, then copied the file C:\Program Files\cGPSMapper\cgpsmapper.exe to C:\Garmin\Custom

I also created a config file to run with the app in the same directory and called this C:\Garmin\Custom\template.txt, the content of this file is the following:

-------------------------------------<<End of File Content>>---------------------------

Then I opened a command window, navigated to c:\garmin\custom and typed:

cgpsmapper pv template.txt

This executed successfully and a file called Cyprus.reg was created.

I changed the content of this file to the following:

-------------------------------------<<Start of File Content>>---------------------------

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Garmin\MapSource\Produ cts\Cyprus]
"LOC"="C:\\Garmin\\Custom\\"
"BMAP"="C:\\Garmin\\Custom\\Cyprus.img"
"TDB"="C:\\Garmin\\Custom\\Cyprus.tdb"

-------------------------------------<<End of File Content>>---------------------------

And then double clicked on it after saving to add the new map details to the registry so that MapSource could pick them up.

Then I open MapSource and there is the map of Cyprus (or at least the unoccupied part of it)
(See Attached image)



From MapSource I was able to send the map to my Zumo
(for more details on how to do this, see page 17 of this document: http://www.bestbikingroads.com/usefu..._Tutorial1.pdf )
