Sorry, sadly that won't work. MI can only deal with PC installed data such as gmap folders and from that data compile image files to send those to the unit. It cannot send an existing image even though BC can see the image.

Sorry for the somewhat unstructured advices, I was just thinking of the possibilties you have. Anyway, the only way I know of how to get maps into the 276C is with the help of Mapinstall or Mapsource. And when sending maps to 276C, use external power in order to avoid problems with corrupt maps.
Yep, that does work. But he only has an image and as you said he'll lose search functions if he splits it to make a preview map with GMapTool. That's because it's sent it to the datacard without MDR. Good reminder about keeping it powered though, that's no matter how you're trying to send the map data.
