You need to be more precise in what you did exactly. If you renamed the map file to gmapsupp.2, it will not be recognised as a map file by your device and thus you would not get the error message about not being able to validate the map...

Note: I moved your post from the Garmin Discussions section to the Garmin Firmware section where it is more appropriate.
