As a rule, most navigators come with pre-installed maps and a navigation program that plots a route using these maps. The navigation program works with certain maps created specifically for it. For example, there is a navigation program “Navitel-navigator”, which works with Navitel maps. It will not work with Garmin maps and vice versa.
The basic set of maps in the navigator does not always contain maps of all the necessary regions. Sometimes there is a need for additional maps. How to install a map in a navigator? There are two ways: purchase the necessary license cards, download free cards from the Internet.
Installing official maps on the navigator
Installing official licensed maps is not a difficult process, just like updating the maps in the navigator, and each developer has on his website detailed instructions about this theme:
Installing unofficial maps
Difficult to use unofficial maps lies in the absence of any technical support and updates. Where do they come from? They are made by navigator users like you, based on existing geographic maps of various regions.
To add such a map to your navigator, you also need the map format to be suitable for your navigation program, and also that the navigation program supports adding its own maps. Where can I get cards? Maps created using the OpenStreetMap|41 resource are very popular.
Important Note
When installing unofficial maps on your navigator, you do so at your own peril and risk. Before installation, it is recommended to backup the data from your navigator to your computer. To be completely confident in the functionality and security of the software, purchase official cards.
How to install or update maps in the Navitel navigator
Step-by-step instructions on how to install a Navitel GPS map on your navigator. To get started, download Navitel maps based on OpenStreetMap:
Connect your navigator to your computer. If the Navitel program is located on a separate flash card, then remove it from the navigator and open it on the computer. In the future, we will assume that we are working with a flash card.
In the root of the flash card, create a separate folder for third-party maps, for example, UserMaps. Do not touch other folders or save anything in them to avoid possible conflicts between official and third-party maps.
In the UserMaps folder, create a folder for the region map that you want to add to the atlas, for example Region1.
Copy the new map files to the Region1 folder
Insert the flash card into the navigator
In the Navitel Navigator program, select the “Open Atlas” menu item and click on the folder icon at the bottom of the window to create a new atlas.
In the window that appears, find the Region1 folder where new maps are stored, click on it and select the “Create atlas” command
We are waiting for indexing to finish and the atlas to be created. Click the button with a check mark.
Now you can use new card by selecting the corresponding atlas in the list of atlases.
How to download maps to your Garmin navigator
Free Garmin maps based on OpenStreetMap can be installed using MapSource. The following describes how to load maps into the navigator using it:
Download the MapSource program to your computer from the official Garmin.com website from the Support->Software section and then Mapping Programs.
Unpack the archive into a separate folder and run the MSMAIN.msi file from it and only then Setup.exe. Wait for the program installation to finish. Since you don't have any Garmin maps on your computer yet, there's no point in launching MapSource yet.
Download the necessary Garmin maps
Unpack archives with maps into separate folders
Run the INSTALL file for each card so that the computer registry receives necessary information about cards.
Launch MapSource. Now in the program you can detect maps installed on your computer through the menu Tools->Manage cartographic products.
A list of available cards (1) should appear in the upper left corner of the program. Using it or through the menu View->Switch to product, select one of the cards, it will appear in the field (3).
Using the button (4), click on the map (3) and it will appear in the window (2). Do this with all the necessary cards.
Press button (5) to send cards to the device. The specified maps will be formatted into a file with an IMG extension and transferred to the Garmin device, which must be previously connected.
Since when loading maps it will be generated new file gmapsupp.img, then the original file will be overwritten, so if your device had pre-installed maps in the gmapsupp.img file, then before uploading the maps to the navigator, you should rename it to one of the allowed names, for example, gmapprom.img.

Installing Autosputnik maps
You can add amateur maps for Avtosputnik based on OpenStreetMap to the program, just like official ones, skipping only the registration step. Just copy them to the Maps folder after unpacking them.
How to upload other maps to the navigator
It happens that after a purchase the client decides that the navigation program or maps do not meet his requirements and decides to change them. We have already said that each navigation program works only with maps designed specifically for it. Is it possible to completely replace the navigation software in a car navigator? The obvious answer is “yes,” but there are exceptions.
Garmin position
In particular, Garmin navigators products that come pre-installed with Garmin software do not support the installation of any third-party software. Also, the Garmin navigation program is not distributed separately from the device itself for installation on navigators of other companies. Exception - software package navigation for PC. Transferring software and maps from one device to another is excluded, since license key is firmly attached to serial number devices.
Position Navitel
A similar policy is used by CST CJSC, the developer of Navitel software. The car version of the program is only available as part of the navigator upon purchase and cannot be purchased separately. Therefore, if you have a navigator with Autosputnik or any other product, then if you want to switch to Navitel you will have to buy another navigator with Navitel included. A strict license also prevents the transfer of software and maps from one device to another when the device is replaced. To use Navitel, but not to buy new navigator, you can purchase a version for PDAs and mobile phones with a less strict license.
Position Autosputnik
Autosputnik turned out to be the most democratic in the matter of replacing and transferring cards. Having purchased a license for the Autosputnik 5 program once, you can use it even if you change your device to another. You only need to go through the re-registration procedure on the manufacturer’s website. Moreover, the Autosputnik program always comes as a bonus to all purchased cards. The only limitation may be the navigator model; devices supported by Autosputnik are listed on the website. The price of the product is also attractive, around 1000 rubles, which is two or even three times less than Navitel. With this approach, it’s not a pity to buy Autosputnik and, if something happens, it’s painless to abandon it.
Multiple programs on one device
Some navigator manufacturers have met their customers halfway and given them the opportunity to use several navigation systems on the navigator instead of one using the so-called alternative shell.
The alternative shell is copied to internal memory or a flash card inserted into the navigator and, as it were, “pretending” preinstalled program navigation, launching instead. IN separate file The alternative shell settings specify the paths to the files of existing navigation programs, which can be called up through the menu of the shell itself.
The X-device company offers one of these shells for its navigators; you can learn about setting up and installing this component on their forum. Lexand has also provided the ability to use several navigation programs; the shell can be found here.

The question of how to load a map into a navigator may not be relevant in certain cases. For example, if your device was purchased already with a navigation program. It plots a route using maps pre-installed by the manufacturer. The basic set depends on what kind of navigator you have. That is, maps designed to work with Navitel are not suitable for working with Garmin, and vice versa.
With all of the above, speaking about the basic set, one should understand some of its specifics. It may not contain maps of some regions required by the user. Then, of course, you should know how to additionally load maps into the navigator. There are several ways to do this. One of these methods is to purchase additional license cards, or you can download them for free from the Internet.
Unofficial maps different regions are mainly developed on the basis of already existing ones. They are made by advanced users of navigators and, as a rule, the installation of unofficial maps occurs without technical support and updates. In addition, they must be readable by your navigation program and fit it in format.
How to load maps into the navigator, where is the best place to get them. A good resource for creating them is "OpenStreetMap". The following important note should be taken into account: installing unofficial maps on your navigator is associated with a certain degree of risk. Accordingly, you should first take care to create backups all available data to your personal computer. Confidence that the software is functional and will not negatively affect the device can be provided by purchasing and installing official cards.
Let's look at how to load maps into the navigator step by step using an example:
Step one: We connect the device to your personal computer. If the program proposed as an example is found on a flash card, it should be removed from the navigator and opened on the PC. We will work with her.
Step two: On the flash card you need to create (in the root) a special folder in which third-party maps for the navigator will be placed. You can call it traditionally UserMaps.
Step three: In the created "UserMaps" folder you need to create a subfolder. It will contain a map of the corresponding region. It can be given the name "Region".
Step four: The required map files are copied to the newly created "Region" folder.
Step five: The flash card must be returned to the navigator and the Navitel program should be opened on it. As a result of these manipulations, a menu will appear.
Step six: In the menu that appears, in the Navitel program proposed for example, we are interested in the item that allows us to create a new atlas. At the bottom of the window, find the folder icon and click on it right click mice.
Step seven: After following the previous recommendations, you will see a new window. You will need to find the "Region" folder if you gave it that name. We are talking about the folder in which new cards are saved. Click on it, and then select the command with which the atlas is created - “Create atlas”. Its creation will be done automatically, and all you have to do is click the checkmark button. That's practically all. Select the desired atlas from the list and use the new maps!
