Content of the Garmin Map SD card

Mon Jan 22, 2024 3:57 pm

Hello,
Is it possible that someone share the content of Garmin Map SD ? Not the protected content but just the layout of the original card.

I did some mess on mine and the unit does not recognise it at all.
What was inside GarminIdentifier.xml ? As now I have only GarminDevice.xml there.

Tell us what device ,this sounds like a vehicle Head Unit
But if you bought this physical SD card from Garmin it will not work without the matching file .unl which contains a 25 character unlock code generated by Garmin based on the SD card serial number. This SD card would not be locked to any specific device. If you bought the contents of the SD card digitally on Garmin's on-line service it would unlock with the matching file .unl to a specific device.
Tell us more ,what maps ,take a screen shot of the files remaining .img Large file. .unl etc .
Where did the garmindevice.xml come from

This is a RHB17 430N headunit in Chrysler.

From the Installation Manual what I have read is that to be able to get:
Code:
gmapprom.gma
gmapprom.unl

I need some files to be uploaded to Garmin to have a map activation but I do not own all of them:
Code:
GarminDevice.xml (have it)
GarminIdentifier.xml (missing)


On the SD card there are the files:
Code:
GarminDevice.xml (taken from Head Unit)
gmapprom.img
gmapprom.unl

but no GarminIdentifier.xml

When I put such SD into the unit all I get is:
Map update was not installed successfully. Please retry update procedure or contact your dealer for assistance.
