Trying to install purchased map
Posted: Tue Apr 14, 2026 4:47 am
I have a refurbished XT2 unit that I purchased in Australia.
It does not have North America maps installed.
I purchased the map and it is showing on Garmin Express under the purchased icon. It says that it is ready to activate. It then is asking to install directly onto the microSD card.
I have then started the download and 90 minutes later it tells me that the download is complete.
When I go onto manage maps it is not showing up.
As I am competing in a 6 day rally in the states at the end of the month I really need the use of this map and Basecamp for routing.
I am feeling quite frustrated as I have done all of this previously on my 590's and my XT without any difficulties.
Thank you so much in advance for any help in this matter.
