Postby soso2565 » Tue Nov 21, 2023 3:09 pm

Hello everyone

I try to copy 9 maps into my zumo xt sd card in the Map folder

every time i try there is always 2 maps that dont show up in mymaps but they are in the sdcard map folder
but like mentioned it could be map1 missing if i try again it could be map4
if i copy 1 map at the time the last one map 8 and 9 are on the sdcard but not show in mymaps
if i try to copy in a different order 1 map at the time the 2 last maps dont showed up

my sdcard is 128gb sandisk that work fine and is only 25gb used

any suggestion?

You don't say what maps, but it is quite possible there is a limit on how many .img files the software can handle.
Devices like the Tread covering multiple countries use Garmin Express "Manage Maps" that substitute one map for another.
10 Preprogrammed .img files on the device

gmapbmap
gmaptz
dem
Canada & Mexico
US
Foursquare
Parkapedia
National Parks
TopoActive PowerSports North America
TopoActive PowerSports Central America

And you have 9 Supplemental maps .img files

This is not about a zumo XT but most probably the same situation "This can cause some detailed maps to be hidden"

I see your point
The maps I try to copy on the micro SD card are
Backroadmapbook eastern Canada
Backroadmapbook western canada
Garmin topo US 24K North Central
Garmin topo US 24k North East
Garmin topo US 24k South Central
Garmin topo US 24k south East
Garmin topo US 24k South West
Garmin topo US 24k West

I have presently in the Garmin sd card folder the backroadmapbook maps copy and in working condition
As for the the topo
Every time no mather what is the order there is always 2 topo us 24k that don't show up in the gps my maps list

I suppose you could remove the three TopoActive PowerSports America .img files from the device as it seems you are well covered with Topo 24k US maps to see if that changes anything .You can always re-install using Garmin Express.
Another quicker way would be to temporarily change the .img extension to .im for example then you could just change it back again once you've seen what effect it has ?
