Look for gmapprom.img or gmapsupp.img in the root

They are ONLY for Garmin and not for iGO. No, they are not in fbl format.

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.
