Garmin Zumo 550 Maps Issue - Mapsource
Hi All,
Yesterday I decided to update my 5 year old Europe maps on my Garmin. After much playing around I finally got them installed onto an SD card and recognised on my sat nav. The problem is I can't get them into map source. If I try to transfer the files from the device to map source it gives me the following error: Some maps could not be opened because the following mapsource products are not installed: City Navigator Europe NT 2013.4. I purchased the lifetime update and the Garmin Express application downloaded these onto my SD card and there was no option to put into map source or the computer. If I open up Garmin Express it just tells me everything is up to date and I can't seem to re download the file. Anyone got any tips? |

Although your device has a life time updates mapsourse doesn't and the only way it'll work is to buy the updated maps and install them on the PC

I have even tried using basecamp and trying to view the maps from the device and that doesn't work either (says limited - no map printing). It is a total rip off to expect people to pay for the maps twice so that they can practically be used on the one sat nav device. I only updated the maps so that I could create some routes for my trip in the summer, without being able to use mapsource (or even basecamp) then its pointless. I think I will call them tomorrow.

You should be able to find the answer to most questions on the Zumo Forum . I know the new maps cause issues with the 550 due to limited memory, not sure about Mapsource.
