G'day agnikesh, Welcome to GPSPower.
Your US 2595 isn't entitled to the map update using the *.exe file 'cos it's not an ID localised unit, so so don't run the exe, simply extract it as you would any compressed file such as a rar or zip. Use WinRar or similar. In the folder named 'MapData' you'll find the locked map 'gmapprom.img'. Unlock it with [Only registered and activated users can see links. ], rename it to gmapsupp.img and put it on a small micrSD in a folder named 'Garmin'. Best not to use unofficial maps directly on the unit if possible.
PS: I love LA!

Thanks Tom and Neil.
Sorry for the newb questions.
I don't have a micro SD card. If I decide to put it on the device itself, which folder should I put it in?
I see there is a folder titled 'Garmin' on the device. Ok to put the gmapsupp.img file in there?

Neil, it did not work.
I unlocked the 'gmapprom.img file using gimgunlock, and renamed it to gmapsupp.img and put it in the folder 'Garmin' on the device.
Unplugged the device from the PC and turned it on. However, when I went to settings > Map & Vehicle > myMaps I don't see the Indonesia map installed.
Is it because of the simple fact I did not use a microSD card? or is there something I did wrong?
Am I also to copy the JVC file along with gmapsupp.img file?

All you did wrong is assume you could do the same for the unit, my suggestion was only for the card. Spend a few bucks for a small microSD, follow my previous advice and you won't risk bricking the unit. It's only a small risk however, so it you want to put it on the unit follow Tom's advices for root folder .System or better still Map root folder.

Before you ask anymore basic questions, please do the reading suggested by Tom. You'll save time that way for sure.
