Garmin freezes after map install

Hi all,

Heres a puzzler for you, I have just tried to put a France Map from here http://www.navitotal.com/forums/showthread.php?1235-Garmin-France-topo-map-%28-maps-merged-amp-unlocked-IMGs-North-amp-South%29&p=3039#post3039 and when I tried to load garmin it freezes on the start up screen, any ideas?

The Map I am trying to use is the south of France and it has been urarred after downloading all segments.

[SIZE="4"]Is it possible to verfiy that the map is unlocked and working? [/size]

What is that map size if it 2gb or more old devices cant read it...

open it with gmaptool and you see all details

Thanks for the reply, the size of the map is 1.269gb Gmaptool is this something that I need to install on the PC?

open your image with it and get infos from file, you see all infos unlocked or not and other details

I have downloaded maptool and I can see that it is the south of france. I have deleted the IMG I am trying to use and have unrarred the original, I put it on the sd card and straight away it worked? very odd indeed must have been a problem with the rar. Thanks for all your help.
