@gaspar,
you're totally right. All information has been here, as I remember the great work together with Stefan.

Me, I have discovered the CID tool... And it has really been working.

But you must keep in mind that there are some things to mention:

- There are several EVO Plus cards available, for me ONLY the "frustration free" package (bought at amazon) has worked (SD card comes in a simple paper case, not the plastic one...)
- If you have an image of an original 32 GB card, you must have the 64 GB evo plus card (that I have not tried)...
That is because of the non standard sd cards of garmin. These do not match the specifications for sd cards. So, the 32 GB card has more blocks than allowed.
Therefore, it's necessary to buy the "bigger" one (64 GB)... Keep also in mind, that you have to write the original image on the EVO plus card. By doing so, the free space will be lost, as the original partition table is written.
But I guess that this is not really an issue :-)
- The name of the SD card is also not matching the specifications. As I remember, it has 12 digits and 10 or 11 are allowed...

Unfortunately, I have never found a working image of an UNMARRIED sd card...
Really disgusting...

There should be a way to copy the sh*** comfortably...
