How to add JNX maps to Fenix 5X?

Former Member over 8 years ago

Could you provide step-by-step insturction how to add JNX maps to my F5X?

I've tried to copy some JNX files to the folder - Garmin\BirdsEye
In the Settings - Maps there were no new maps for activation :-(

I was able to copy IMG file to the root folder of F5X and this worked fine.

I turned on new map in Settings section and new IMG map was visible.

How to do this for JNX file ? please advise.

(Sorry - my English is weak)
Buy the BirdsEye licence.
Prepare the own JNX file from ProductID=0.
Import JNX to BaseCamp and add the licence.
Send JNX from BaseCamp to the watch.

Thanks for quick reply.

Does it mean, that F5x operates with licensed JNX map only?

For example, I don't want to use BirdsEye map file. I just want to put a scanned map file in JNX format.

Own scan of the map (ProductID=0) - OK:

But in BaseCamp it is necessary to add the licence.
Without the licence only KMZ files

Thanks for reply.
Does it mean - it's not possible to install JNX file to Fenix 5X without BaseCamp?
Can I copy JNX files manually? like this - see the screenshot.

Method of sending to the watch any. He can be copy- > paste (Garmin/BirdsEye folder), but writing the licence down without BaseCamp is impossible

JNX without the licence? Any ProductID? OK: "JNX firmware patcher". But at present isn't supporting F5X. Read more on my www (in Polish): http://gpsmaniak.com/2010/porady-jnx.htm#modernizacja
