Santosan's post you quoted was made almost 2 years ago, and was not applicable for your Nuvi 255W at the time which then would support only one map named gmapsupp.img in the Garmin folder of the sd.

Thanks however for the tip on naming the map gmapsup with just one p at the end, because all other variants failed.

A recent fw upgade to your 255W has enabled a second map for sd, which must be named only gmapsup1.img as you have found.
