Re: How to put maps onto your PC

If Express has replaced the 2013 map with 2018.20 it will be in the .system folder, Map folder is only used for supplementary maps.

Re: How to put maps onto your PC

Check you've done it correctly as it works for all Garmin devices.

Re: How to put maps onto your PC

right now, the memory card is out. and file search cannot find any img files on the internal storage. would the search actually look in a hidden .system folder?

But the guy had only ridden about 2000 miles in 2 years, so I kinda figured he wouldn't have messed up the Zumo. Right now I have just the one freshly created garmindevice.xml file and I'v...
