Yes, that's where I started.
Garmin will reload the basemap, only not at the local representative. This means the unit must be sent to the US and back. Customs paperwork and shipping/insurance costs stimulate me to delay until someone goes that way. Meanwhile I looked for a possible alternative here.

Thank you very much for trying!

Do you think I could/should use another worldwide basemap, like the Garmin Worldwide Autoroute DEM Basemap NR 5.00?
The satelitte imagery was very low resolution anyway...
