Okay, I have installed some maps to the memory card, I need to install the map that I copied from the sd card, my home country, it's only about 12,504 KB, can I merge this with the ones I have installed?

In post #156 I see you have a nüvi 610. This model is not able to recognize more than one map file on an SD. You could put one map on SD (as SD:\Garmin\gmapsupp.img) and use the other one from the internal memory of the nüvi (as nüvi:\Garmin\gmapprom.img).

Note: in the above instructions, replace 'nuvi:\' by the drive letter assigned to the nüvi by your computer.

Hi here's a screenshot of my internal drive, and inside the "Garmin" folder, of that drive. Originally Posted by smokefree

Not gmappsupp, it's gmapsupp. Originally Posted by xXNuviXx

Back them up to your PC and remove them, then proceed with one of Smokefree's suggestion by simply using copy and paste to add the required image/s to the Garmin folder of the unit and/or the SD card. The .sum files are only checksum files, you can delete them if you want.
