Help!!!!

I am at the point of tearing my hair out ...

I am trying to make fully autoroutable and indexed maps using the instructions found here ...

http://forum.brighthand.com/showthread.php?t=220646

Anyway, the first step goes well, I can select the mapset in Mapsource and then send it to the SD card. Then problems start ...

I Mapsource I save it as a .gdb file (not an option I have - but one I can do by saving as All files - and making the extension .gdb

However, when I then try and load this .gdb file using IMG2GPS, I get the following message ...

Runtime error 9
Subscript out of range.

Can anyone explain to me what this means and how I can get round it ?

I know I'm close but it's now doing my head in!!!

As always, my thanks in advance!!!!

Update ....

I think the problem is something to do with the .gdb file.

As mapsource will not let me save as a .gdb file, I have been making the extension myself and then saving it. I have also downloaded som e wizard (Geodude's Autorouting Metroguide Wizard) and when I try to open my saved .gdb file, it tells me it may not contain any maps.

So next question - how do I get Mapsource to save as a .gdb file??

Still tearing the hair out !!

Thanks !!!

This is gonna be a bit mad, considering I started this thread myself, asked my own questions and now I have answered them and solved my dillemas !!

The problem was (in case you're interested) that my Mapsource was an old one. Just downloaded new one from Garmin - can now save as gdb - and can now also make full maps from Mapsource.

Happy days all round.

I love a happy ending!!

Goodnight!
