Do you get any error message?
Is the img unlocked? . Do you have other Maps installed covering the same area? Do you have other gmapsupp.img in nuvi?

Hi Catymag
The image is unlocked on mapsource
I selected an area Ireland & Uk connected the nuvi to the laptop and sent the created image to the nuvi when i turned on the nuvi it comes on as normal with no message saying cannot authenticate maps. The map does not show up on the garmin
I have other maps covering the same area

All of map files offered are based on data from OpenStreetMap. I have been using them for years in conjunction with the garmin maps no issue
I have other gmapsupp images on the nuvi ie gmapsupp1.img etc

1) I don't know how you unlocked it in MS, it can be locked in nuvi, it depends on unlocking method you used, because this .img has FID greater than 2200.
Check if img is unlocked with Gmaptool, but if you don't have any message at nuvi start probably it's unlocked.
2)Try to rename other EU IMGs extensions and restart nuvi. Nuvi sometimes doesnt display one of the maps covering the same area.
3) nuvi 1xxx can store multiple maps in sd/Map/anyname.img . Rename the .img as Ireland & Uk.img and copy in Map folder.
Better to copy unlocked .img in sd, if something goes wrong you can remove it

4) this NTU map is different from previous NTU maps, it can be, as Ozboss wrote above, isn't supported anymore in 1xxx devices.

Caty,

Do you have any idea which extensions, like ASR,G2S SID, SQLite,JCV can be stored in.System file on SD card?.. Or they can be stored in Garmin folder onSD card. For 3590 and 3790..

Orrr do they have to be on main unit .System folder?

Hi Catymag
you were right the image was still locked on the Nuvi.I unlocked it with the protected garmin file toolkit.
It was strange because the nuvi never gave any message that the image was locked.
