struggling with Garmin maps :o(

[oruggs]

Hi

usually I carry my Garmin Oregon 550 for which I bought the €€€ TOPO maps from Garmin. (Topo Canada/ Topo Canada West / Topo Alaska Enhanced).

Now I want use the same maps on my Samsung S4 Android, so I copied one of the maps (the .IMG file 1.2GB) ) into the folder "mapfiles".

I can see the file in the app and can pick it to open, however the map doesn't show up.

GPS is switched off and map is centered on coordinates of a town in Alaska.

Do I have to somehow convert the map?

Txs for any help

Hello,



Those maps are protected, they only can be used with garmin devices/apps, they can't be read by oruxmaps.
