Of course, you can replace the gmapbmap.img. But it is not necessary, because the continental drift proceeds very slowly, so a replacement is usefully just in about 10.000 years :D.

The general answer is YES.

To be more specific... I don't know the difference between 4.0 and 5.0 and if 5.0 is compatable with your GPS.

Simple solution though... Try it and see, no harm will be done.

1. Copy your 4.0 basemap "gmapbmap.img" to your PC as a backup.

2. Copy the 5.0 basemap "gmapbmap.img" to your 255

3. Try it for a while and if it causes you issues or you don't like it just put the original 4.0 back.
