The basemap is named gmapbmap.img and contained in .System with the detail map/s. It is essential for proper device function, particularly when the screen is zoomed out and scrolled.

Well this device i bought is used as the older i had was taken from my dad's car when he left it unlocked.
Exactly, the Basemap was an even older image of my country .img, i think that was the conflicting map, i replaced it for the one in another of my devices (WW Autoroute DEM Basemap NR 3) and device stop hanging while calculating maps. Then i realiced there had to be another folder with MAPS because i still saw a 2011 detailed map.
The copydir,0:/MAP/,1:/MAP/ did the trick, so i could delete the file inside and replaced with a newer one i made in MS.
there where also a POI folder, but looked write protected, as i get error even trying to copy a new file inside.

Did it actually show an error in the file "update.log" like this?:
Parsing "del,0:/POI/poi.gpi"
Error

Exactly

I tried the copydir,0:/ command in a nuvi 40 (same hwid 1350 as US/EU nuvi 50) and it worked with all folders and files properly copied in the card's Backup folder. This is the log file entry:

I don't know why you are getting error messages in your update.log file if that's indeed what you mean.

Also that, full backup also gives me error, and no MAP or POI folder is copyed, but copydir,0:/MAP/,1:/POI/ and copydir:0:/POI/,1:/POI/ got those dumped.
Anyway i could replace the problematic POI (got speed bumpers marked and here we have lots of those, was a constant alert in simulation), i renamed my country speedcam to poi.gpi, place in root of SD and while inserting the device asked if i want to copy files to have them after SD is extracted, having the same name let it finish the process.
So now i have the nuvi52 functional...
Lets see if someday i would try to get a map of CA,NV and FL that my father like to travel there, anyway while during the blockout and lack of vaccination here, i wont need it for at least a year.
