NOMAD5326 0 Posted July 12, 2009 Ok, I had to to this as I couldn't locate my Mapsource CD for my Rino 130. I borrowed this from the web (Googled it): "Garmin officially provides a MapSource version update download, which will only work if there is previous version of MapSource installed. If no MapSource software is detected, the MapSource update setup will abort with error message saying that it cannot find previous version of MapSource. Follow the following trick to hack the setup file so that it can be used to install MapSource clean and fresh without any prior installation of MapSource. Download and install a WinZip/WinRar program Download and install a Garmin Map or Tracks (there are a ton here). This will give the MapSource Installation program something to verify. There are free garmin Mapsource Maps online, just google them... Download MapSource software updater from Garmin: http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=209 The version as of Jul 2009 is is 6.15.6, and the trick also works on Map Source version 6.13.5. You may also want to go to CNET and download the previous version just in case. Unpack or extract the content of Mapsource 6156.exe downloaded using WinRAR. From the extracted files, run MAIN.msi or MSMAIN.msi. Then, run Setup.exe. Note: The sequence to execute Main.msi and then Setup.exe is important to avoid "Previous MapSource not found!" error. Garmin MapSource now installed. Now update to current software and enjoy......... There's probably a whole lot more, but that's what got me off and running. I appologize if this was already posted, I didn't see it, but i scanned in a hurry as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
