Can I use this with my Garmin Nuvi 255w and 260w devices? Which files from the main post do I need for my device.
Yes, nuvi 255W and 260W support NT maps.
Go to post no. #1 and download all gmapprom.rar files only (5 files / imgUn = IMG Unlocked.
Use WinRAR to expand and rename the gmapprom file (2.66 GB) to gmapsupp (or gmapsup1).
On the SD card 4GB create a new \Garmin folder and copy the gmapsupp file in this folder and
then insert SD into the slot of the device.
The path to the map is: SDcard:\Garmin\gmapsupp (or gmapsup1)
Done.
Enjoy!
Followed your instruction and got it working flawlessly, thank you. This detail really should be made clear in the first post so others don't get confused, but maybe I'm the only one that's ever had issue.
P.S. is there any additional benefit to the other files posted or is that stuff only for other model devices? Doesnt hurt to get the most out of my device if possible. I used Garmin Express and updated the firmware and got all the language packs too.
Hi!
First, thanks so much for the hard work ppl are putting into helping everyone out with these maps and problems!
I have a Drive 50 with the new 5.60 software and it just says that it cannot use the map file, I tried both the 1fichier version and the Mega, nothing works, also I tried renaming to gmapsupp.img, still no luck.
Anyone have a suggestion as to what I am doing wrong?
Hi!
@u133876
Your nuvi 255W and 260W support only the NT map and nothing more (the old model).
All other additional files are for newer devices.
Hi!
@davurleon
Your Drive 50 contains MSV protection (MSV = strong software protection), so it does not read unlocked / pirated maps.
In order for the device to see unlocked maps, you need to repair its software. This work is dangerous because you can destroy the device.

Hi! i have followed all your instructions and my Nuvi 1390 can't read the files i have Copy and use the path SDcard:\Garmin\gmapsup1 without success i'm not copying any JCV.https://ibb.co/b9OOww https://ibb.co/nQUfbw thanks in advance!
Hi!
Try doing the following:
From first (#1) post, [ImgUn] download five (5) gmapprom.rar files.
Expand with newer WinRAR ...
File gmapprom.img rename to gmapsupp.img
( note that you do not have a double .img e.g.: gmapsupp.img.img )
The Nuvi 1390T / LMT supports Lane assist with junction view. Find the JCV:
D3060250A.jcv and download ( this is for nuvi 7x5, 1xxx Lane Assist Full ).
The path to the map is: SDcard\Garmin\gmapsupp.img
The path to the junction view is: SDcard\Garmin\JCV\D3060250A.jcv
Greetings!
Check out your own GarminDevice.xml But DO NOT Share

Create a folder named Map in root of SD card and try putting gmapsup1.img in there,everything else goes in the Garmin folder as Genius3 says
SDcard\Map\gmapsup1.img
SDcard\Garmin\JCV\D3060250A.jcv etc
You do know there is City Navigator North America NT 2019.10 available with D3060260A.jcv for your device ?
