    Default last call anyone ( nuvi 2599 ) ????

    Hi,

    getting desperate, had for many years nuvi 350 updated all maps needed without any problems ( mapsource )
    nuvi 350 died so I bought nuvi 2599 lmtd ( Europe )
    installed the new US maps, works fine in Mapsource ( unlocked them in Masource with keygen )
    try to get them on a sd card ( 16g ) also that worked fine ( maps transferred and build )
    put the sd card into the Nuvi but then appears the message, maps are damaged cannot load them into the system......
    tried with an unlocked img file, same message
    am reading and checking a lot of material cannot figure out anymore what I am doing wrong

    did I bought the wrong nuvi ?
    any advice more than welcome
    thanks for your time

    If you read first post you will see that on your device map CAN'T be unlocked with gimgunlock.
    With jetmous you unlock map ONLY in and for mapsource, on device is locked becouse of FID greater of 2200.

    Maps with FID of 2200 and above will still be locked on ALL devices unless either also accompanied by a valid GMA file [ie if the map is purchased] or the GMA protection is stripped using gimunlock. Even when unlocked that way an NT map will still not work in some units [e.g. all nuvi 2xx9 series, and 2xx7/8 if HWID 2077].
    no solution for my nuvi then ? ....
    No, because it is a 2599. In first post in the gimgunlock thread, it clearly notes it will not work for any 2xx9. Some information in the first post here too: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] referring to new protection in some firmware and a link back to the notes in [Only registered and activated users can see links. ].

    I know this post is old, but anyone looking for a solution to reading unlocked maps on a Nuvi 2599 needs to read this thread:

    [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

    Garmin's firmware update requires patching to allow unlocked maps to be read.
