you can update maps without software update too..

just use unlocked images first...

download UnLocked image and put it SD-Card \Garmin directory named GMAPSUPP.IMG

Yes just download mapsource and make UK map..

or download map here: Garmin City Navigator Europe NT 2011.10b Regional
and Unlock it with this: Garmin unlocker Alternative v5.31c


gmapsupp.img = Map file
gmapsupp.unl = License file
Make backup old ones

if you put new unlocked image remove old two files

you not need UNL file if you use UnLocked Image

put UnLocked image SD-Card \Garmin folder named GMAPSUPP.IMG

how big SD-Card you use and is it SD or SDHC ??
some old device support only 1 or 2Gb SD-Card older devices not support SDHC card at all

anyway i think this is card problem... you can try format SD-Card too before add maps, make it fat32 format
