    Connect it to WebUpdater and MapUpdater, or use GarminExpress, to replace most missing files including the time zone map and any detail maps to which it's entitled. You'll have to get a basemap from the index: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ].
    Helpfull. But it was impossible to download/update original map (roads of Russia), as a result I have a message that map is already updated, but no img. file on SD card. Than I found a small size map of Budapest and place it into internal memory of the device (very small only 600-700 mb free)- working. After replacing that img. file to SD card it becomes "invisible" to the nuvi. At the same time a "new data" files (poi for example) were easily recognised with suggestion to place them into internal memory. A little later SD card "falled off" So, to my mind I have a hardware problem and the solution is- dump!

    If you use garmin.com services you will recieve message that map is already updated in any case if the map is not from City Naviagator series. Download new version of Road of Russia from here or download any old version and then use mapupdater from garmin.ru. By the way if you do not have garmindevice.xml in device it is halting of protected internal memory probably and you have lost official unlock too.

    What's name of img file do you use for SD after copying? Only gmapsupp.img and gmapsup1.img (SW ver.6.20) are available.
    Garmin, how much is 30 pieces of silver for Judas today? Were they worthy for crucifix of GPSPower?
