City Navigator North America -2023.10 FID 9397

@Garmin_Nuvi

Hi! Thanks for trying to help!

I'm checking for GPS update each year but you are right, there haven't been one in many years indeed but I always check just in case. I do have the v5.00 version.

I've tried soft and hard reset too, just in case. No change

I've tried with your Canada & Borders version and tomojure's gmapprom.img file from the first post (both renamed gmapsupp.img) but it still doesn't work. Very strange.

I did notice something however. The Zumo 550 is normally displaying the street names in all upper case letters. I may be imaginating things here, but it is almost like the newer maps (well prior to 2022.10 at least) are kinda "hard coded" with upper and lower cases letters and the Zumo cannot handle this. I've got really no way to backup my claim tho, just a feeling, hence why I asked in my original post if Garmin didn't change something recently about their maps.

Here's what it look like:

OK, I've tried something else.

I just remembered that I always download NT version of the maps (I'm in Canada). When re-reading this thread title, I've noticed that "NT" was missing.... It might just be my problem. I'm pretty sure tho that I've tried other map versions from the same thread that were supposed to be "NT". Just to be sure I'm downloading as of now Kilroy's map from post #2 to test this out, but it is a very slow download. I'll report back later to if this version is working or not.

But at the same time, I downloaded Fared123's City Navigator North America NT 2022.25 FID 9362 and surprise, this version worked flawlessly as the street names are reading fine with it. This version will be fine if I can't make 2023.10 work.

I don't have a zumo 550 any more so I can't simulate your problem. I did try a few other younger devices and all displayed street names correctly .maybe try choosing another language ???

Edit : Comparing 2022.25 NT & 2023.10 NT I don't see anything obvious ???

I did try with a different language (french prior hard reset and english after) but it didn't change anything.

After the long download time, I tried Kilroy's map (from post #2) but street names aren't displaying correctly.

I'm not sure either why 2022.25 NT works but 2023.10 NT is not. Not a big deal for now, I'll come back in a few months for the next version to try it out. Something might have change in the way Garmin are making the maps and my Zumo 550 can't cope with that. Who knows!? Thanks for the help tho, it appreciated!

Why would you want Original Locked Maps?
To then Unlock them to be able to use them and get the Unlocked Maps posted again?
It doesn't seem like a big gain :bye:

My device is Garmin 765 with a map from 2019. After connecting to the PC, it does show up in the File Explorer.

However, when I run MapInstall, it does recognize the device. However, a message shows "No unlocked maps were found for this device". The "continue" button was disabled.

Please advice. Thanks

Which map file are you trying to install on your Garmin 765 GPS ?

First of all the map needs to be unlocked first (resources are available here in order to do so) or if you have Lifetime Maps available, the map file needs to be downloaded & installed to your GPS by Garmin Express ...

If you are trying to install a locked map file you are definitely out of luck ! ...
