    Good afternoon, to be clear, on a gps that uses NTU maps if I install an NT map, is it compatible? will it work properly?

    If this was for Europe for example ,then your device would use NTU maps to enable the use of languages with cyrillic characters.
    Later devices use both NTU & NT maps dependant of the languages of that region.

    Default Nuvi 265W and copying map to SD card

    Hi all,

    New member here and normally I'm pretty handy with following online tutorials - but what appears to be a simple process has me confused. I'd appreciate a little pointer in the right direction.

    It seems that the preferred way to update maps for a device as old as my Nuvi is to download them to the SD card and leave the inbuilt map alone (North America 2015.10 Lower 49 is installed).

    I downloaded the Eastern United States map (from this post
    Link URL:

    ), ran gimgunlock on it and saved it to the SD card as \map\gmapsupp.img.

    The Nuvi doesn't see the map when I try to access it under tools>settings>map>info. All it shows is the original 2015 map.

    I have a feeling this is something simple but having played with it for over 2 hours, I can't see what the problem is.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks.

    FP

    Welcome to the forum.

    Your garmindevice.xml show where everything goes, you are correct to use a SD card as you device does not have enough space.
    Depending on the size of your SD card you can use ,N America or USA & Canada etc.
    I would delete the 2015 gmapprom from the device just to tidy up

    Default Add maps to Garmin nuvi 40LM

    I have a Garmin nuvi 40LM (North America). I want to add maps for another region. I copied the gmapsupp.img file to Garmin and Map folders on an sdcard but neither is recognized.

    Is this the correct process?

    I don't have JCV files - what are they?

    From garmindevice.xml, shows that gmapsupp.img should be in Garmin which it is.

    <Name>SupplementalMaps</Name>
    -<File>
    -<Specification>

    The path Garmin/Map is when you add a supplemental map to the device's internal storage.
    On an SD card : The "Map" folder is in the root of the card NOT in the Garmin folder as per post #32
