The extracted files can also be found in the Windows Temp folder if you know how to get there because some folders in the Temp path are hidden.

When finished downloading, if you use archiving software such as 7-Zip, WinRAR or PowerArchiver, you can right click on the file that you downloaded and extract. Download the latest MapSource from Garmin.Дў. Luckily there is a trick on how to install MapSource without having the original installation CD.ДЎ. It seems like the file that I downloaded is an update and not the full installation setup. Previous MapSource not found! Setup will terminate. When I tried to install, I got the error message: I found out that MapSource, a software provided by Garmin is able to create, view and edit waypoints, routes and tracks as well as to find items, addresses and POIs.ДЄll sounds good and I actually found a link to download the latest MapSource from GarminвЂ™s official website. The menu on the GPS unit is pretty straight forward and easy to understand but the technical part such as putting more than one gmapsupp.img file on the GPS unit or even using the JetMouse keygenerator can be pretty tough and confusing to a novice user.ДЄnyway, since I do not have a GPS unit, I am sure I can somehow view the maps in my computer without the GPS tracking capability. I do have some experience with GPS because I borrowed from my friend a few times and managed to know how to find a location, updating the unit software and also looking for the latest maps. Think about it, if the US military uses GPS to hit their target, it is surely very accurate.

GPS is very impressive but scary at the same time because the satellites can actually track where I am.

A good GPS unit can be quite expensive and I am still waiting when I have saved enough money for it. GPS is a topic that I have not touched because I still havenвЂ™t got one.
