Hi new to all this and was hoping to be pointed in the right direction
First off can the maps be run from a sd card on this model nuvi 2569 LMT-D
Next which set of files would be good for all of europe as i only have western europe on the nav at the moment.
Finally what is the folder and file structure like on the sd card.

Many thanks for any help

Many Thanks GarmanNuvi
Now i am pointed in the right direction,just checked my HWID is 1947 and if i am reading right c5 is that the end of it

Use this SD card patch kit for HWID 1947
software/universal-firmware-patcher-for-protected-garmin-devices-t17987-480.html?hilit=1947#p177056

Edit:Cheers for that loaded it onto the card and i think it worked i can see the maps, but when i try to use just the new map i get no map data when i go to search. The C5 was off the about device menu on the unit

Check in your garmindevice.xml to see you have patched your device ,should show Software version 882 the HWID is the most important info
<PartNumber>006-B1947-00</PartNumber>
<SoftwareVersion>882</SoftwareVersion>
<Description>nüvi 2569</Description>

PartNumber>006-B1947-00</PartNumber>
<SoftwareVersion>882</SoftwareVersion>
<Description>nüvi 2569</Description>
copied from the nav wordpad
So i guess this is ok,guess i must be missing something or the files or not correct in the folders

It is possible you renamed the file gmapsupp.img.img because you didn't unhide extensions on your PC.Take a screenshot of the contents of the SD card with the Garmin & Map folders expanded & a screen capture of My Maps from the device

Ok cheers will do but am working away at the moment and the sat navs in work but will post by the weekend thanks again

Finally got 5 mins to myself,first one is the map folder on the sd card,second is the sd card Garmin folder

You should have two folders in the root of the SD card
SD card:\Garmin\
SD card:\Map\
You have SD card:\Garmin\Map
You are missing D6210110A.img & D4935190A.img(FourSuare) but have the gmap3d.img your device does not use 3D Building images.


SD card:\

Many thanks again GarmanNuvi will have a try tonight .

Edit:That seems to have done it,but i did notice if i disable the map stored on the nav itself the rest of them stop working.

This is because they are all just regions of the same map

Thanks for your help GarmanNuvi i would have launched it otherwise.
