Help, Information & Documentation

HELP! MapSource is crashing after I installed your maps, how do I fix this? Your copy of MapSource needs to be updated to handle our latest map features. You can get this update from Garmin (free). A copy of the updater is also on the CD you received in the folder "Bonus Files" in the "Program Updates" folder. See Garmin's site for a direct download.

What are our upgrade/update policies? Generally updates are free for one year and we do offer some upgrades. More info.

Will these maps work with your GPS? Probably if it's a Garmin unit that supports mapping - see our list.

Can the maps be downloaded over the Internet or do you need to wait for the CD in the mail? Maps purchased online can generally be downloaded immediately after purchase (when using credit card or similar electronic payment). Most of the map installers are pretty big - 50 to 70 megabytes - and can take a very long time to download over dial-up.

Which GPS units are compatible with the preloaded microSD cards? Primarily Garmin's "X" model line - More information.

Can you load different map products at the same time? How about with a unit with maps already loaded on it? Yes you can, but the other map products must be hidden/disabled to see the VVMapping maps (except for the Hatfield McCoy Transparent map). Here are basic instructions on how to do this.

Installation help (PDF) for the microSD cards.

Documentation (PDF) for installing and using our GPS maps, also included on CD.
