Cum sa actualizezi un gps Garmin

1. Primul pas dupa conectarea aparatului la PC este sa facem un backup (salvare) a acestuia in PC.

In general device-urile Garmin sunt recunsocute de orice sistem cu Windows si putem avea acces la memoria interna a aparatului.De asemenea, pe site-ul Garmin sunt disponibile drivere pentru aparatele Garmin.

Anumite serii foarte noi (2012) nu mai sunt vazute ca Storage si nu pot fi accesate decat daca:

  • Intram in meniul de sunet,si tinem apasat 10 secunde coltul dreapta sus al ecranului
  • Intram in meniul service,si dam in jos pana la optiunea MTP
  • Schimbam setarea in Mass Storage
    Il inchidem si il reconectam la PC-acum avem conexiune Mass Storage.

2. Pe aparatele Garmin hartile au extensia .IMG .De obicei in memoria unui aparat gasim mai multe astfel de fisiere care pot reprezenta:harta principala,harta de baza,harti suplimentare.

Hartile le regasiti la aparatele mai vechi(Nuvi2xx,nuvi6xx,etc) in folderul Garmin.

La aparatele Garmin mai noi hartile le regasiti in folderul .System

Acest folder este de tip Hidden(ascuns) si nu il puteti vizualiza decat daca in Windows,setati urmatoarele:

Vizualizare fisiere ascunse Garmin

Tools\Folder Options\View\ Select Show hidden files, folders and drives
Tools\Folder Options\View\ Uncheck Hidde protected operating system file (Recommended)

sau

Control Panel\Folder Options\View\Select Show hidden files, folders and drives
Control Panel\Folder Options\View\ Uncheck Hidde protected operating system file (Recommended)

Pe card hartile se regasesc in folderul Garmin sau Map.

3.In memoria interna a aparatelor harta principala e denumita GMAPPROM.IMG iar pe card (intotdeauna pusa in folder Garmin sau Map) e denumita GMAPSUPP.IMG.
Cand inlocuim harta cu una mai nou pastram aceste denumiri,si la fel selectia dosarului.
Exemple de locatii harti :

X:\Map\gmapsupp.img
X:\Map\Europe.img
X:\Map\XXXXX.img
unde X e device-ul Garmin

SD:\Map\gmapsupp.img
SD:\Map\Europe.img
SD:\Garmin\gmapsupp.img
SD:\Map\XXXXX.img

SD este cardul aparatului.

Hartile le gasiti pe net in mai multe forme:

Mapsource version unlocked-harta se instaleaza in PC ,se pot selecta zone ,se pot creea rute,se pot trimite in device,etc,etc..e complexa dar pentru instalare trebuie putina documentare:

IMG locked (exemplu CN 2013.20 IMG Locked) -harta in format IMG gata de pus in aparat ,dar trebuie deblocata cu ajutorul unui generator de coduri.

IMG unlocked-cea mai simpla varianta,se copie harta in locul celei vechi sau pe card si e gata de utilizare, fiind deja deblocata.

Astfel vom avea un fisier gmapsupp.img deblocat pe care il punem in folderele mai sus mentionate.

Putem folosi mai multe harti pe card,sau memoria interna daca avem nevoie dar trebuie folosite anumite denumiri pentru a fi recunoscute:

Pe device-uri Garmin se accepta urmatoarele tipuri de fisiere ce contin harti in format Garmin: gmapbmap.img, gmapprom.img, gmapprom1.img, gmapsupp.img.
Harta “gmapbmap.img” contine de obicei pe toate aparatele Garmin, harta de baza.

Mapsource trimite intotdeauna “gmapsupp.img” catre aparat sau card. Pe card se recunoaste doar “gmapsupp.img”.

Se pot folosi 2 harti gmapsupp.img una in flash (in folder garmin) si una pe card (in folder garmin) gmapprom.img este harta default incarcata de programul garmin. gmapsup1 sau 2 sunt citite doar de pe card.

How to Create a Swap File on Linux

Swap Files vs. Swap Partitions

There are several scenarios where you might want to increase existing or add new swap space to your Linux computer.

  • Perhaps your swap space is frequently running at maximum or close to maximum.
  • It’s easy to click the wrong option during the installation process and to decline adding swap to your system inadvertently.
  • Maybe you previously decided that you had so much random access memory (RAM) you didn’t need any swap, and you’ve changed your mind.
  • Sometimes you inherit the administration of a system that has no swap, for reasons you’ll never be able to discover.

How to Change User Data With chfn and usermod on Linux

If you use a Linux or Unix-like computer, you’ll have a user account. The name given to the account is your user account name. This is the name you use to log in with. It’s also (by default) the name of your login group and the name of your home directory. They all use the same identifier.

There is another set of information that can be stored for each user account. Real-world data such as the person’s full name, their office number, and their work telephone number, for example, can be defined and attached to them. Indeed, completely arbitrary snippets of information can be tagged to user accounts.

In practical terms, this will be more useful for system administrators looking after computers that have many user accounts configured on them. But even for the single-user Linux computer, it’s always interesting to know what’s going on beneath the hood.
