I know it's obvious, and may not be the cause of your problem, but in  
my case *every* time the TYP has failed to be associated with the  
gmapsupp.img is because either I had failed to put the TYP where it  
should have been, or because it was open in another programme locked  
for access, or because it had the wrong family ID.  Just a thought.
