They are ONLY for Garmin and not for iGO. No, they are not in fbl format.
If it ain't broke don't fix it!
ALWAYS BACK-UP YOUR FILES/FOLDERS BEFORE MAKING EDITING CHANGES!

Please do NOT post any thanks. Simply press the hand icon with the "thumb up" which is the thank you button.

First you should tell us which device you have - there are differences between nuvi models before and after 2010!

In older nuvi devices the original maps are in folder Garmin, in current models they are in hidden folder .System. Original preinstalled maps mostly named gmapprom.img.
