Thread: Multiple Maps on NUVI 200w/Nuvi 255W sd

I did check the first post from OP.
It does not specify the OP is using a U.S. 200W HWID or firmware.
But the OP is using a U.S. map, so it does indicate that it is most likely being used with a U.S. HWID firmware device.
Therefore (especially as being Tutorial thread), it is highly relevant to mention details such as only the recent U.S. HWID firmwares support gmapsup1.img for these 2xx devices (and some other legacy U.S. nuvi devices).

@WknThDog
Perhaps i've inadvertently offended you, that wasn't my intention and if that's so i apologise. I was in fact thanking you sincerely (not facetiously) for clarifying that gmapsup1 is not universal for units named 2xx. To clarify what was meant in my somewhat sloppy initial answer quoted above: My belief is that he does have a US device, although that's not totally clear in his first post, just strongly implied as you point out. Strephon Alkhalikoi makes the point somewhere that he has the same unit as the OP, running (US) v4.00 fw, and reading the rest of the thread makes it clear that the OP has a unit with only 1 Gib internal memory. This is why i firmly believe that it's an early US device, please correct me if i'm wrong in thinking that all Asian hwid 2xx's have a 2 Gib memory. And yes gmapsup1 applies to others like 7xx. Perhaps the thread should be renamed to make it clear it's referring to US hwid units only, and not just 2xx but also other similar legacy units.
