Back in this post you said the case is closed and the 1490 is dead.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Have you since found another 1490 that works or got the one you have working again?
If so why not just update it with Garmin Express with the SD card installed.
Am I missing something here?
What good will it do if you get all the maps installed on an SD card?
Are you going to put the SD card back in the 1490 that you say is dead?
OR
Have a second SD card with a Garmin and Map Folders on it and see if it will put the maps on SD nr. 2
Spoiler: This is my setup for the SD card:
The Garmin folder has this file gmappupdate.gsd
The Map folder has these items. D6210190A.unl, D6210190A.gma and D6210190A.img
Yours might be different.....

I have bought another 1490, but no 1490 LM and I would like to get it to run the maps I own for the dead 1490 LM (but first have to dl them).
For this I made a copy of my the dead GarminDevice.XML to the micro SD card and would like load the maps on that SD card.Last edited by Boki; 15th January 2022 at 06:16 PM. Reason: approved

As it only requires the map .img & Junction view files .JCV I would just substitute the device ID 38xxxxxxxx with the one from your scrap device. this will trick Garmin Express to install the latest maps etc. The map (gmapprom.img )file will be locked to the scrapped device ,but using Gimgun will unlock it.
My preferred method is to make a clone device on an SD card or USB by creating a Garmin folder & putting the LM garmindevice.xml in it.
