Thread: Installed a map on a SD Card, but nuvi 2455 does not see it

I’m being able to see the maps on MapSource and transfer them to the SD card but when I look for the installed maps on the GPS, only the North America NT map is shown. I have already tried:

• Formatting the SD card to Fat 32
• Configuring the nuvi for Mass Storage (MTP Settings -> Mass Storage)
• Renaming the SD card to Garmin SD
• Installing the “gmapsupp.img” on the SD card on a folder named “Garmin” and I also tried naming it “Maps”

Help please!!

How did you unlock it in Mapsource?
Have you checked if in the sd is it unlocked?
Do you get an error message about that map when starting nuvi?
Folder must be "Map" not "Maps",not "Garmin"
Moved to discussion section, Maps section is to post maps only.

Does not look like you doing anything wrong.
Maybe your Nuvi Firmware is not seeing that SD Card.
Unlock map with gimunlock. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Try another SD Card.
Try another Map.

Additionally
Enable files extensions in Windows to see if it's not named gmapsupp.img.img, sometimes it happens-
Check with gmaptool if the map in sd is really unlocked

Drag the img in gmaptool and hit Details tab, in log you'll see if it's locked-
example of a locked map log:

Use "Map" folder in sd root and rename the map anyname.img (CNEU.img for example)
"Map" is with big M (capital letter) and shouldnt support gmapsupp.img naming.
Garmin folder supports gmapsupp.img naming. Probably one gmapsupp.img per Garmin folder.
