Why does the nuvi 2689 device not read the memory card?

Hi, firstly I am a complete muppet with regard to this problem.....

I had a Garmin Camper 780 which worked perfectly for me for over a year in my motorhome, sold the motorhome and listed it on Ebay. (I know :lol: ) Some guy bought it and had it for three days and then came back to claiming that there were no UK maps on the device, ...

I have two garmin alpha 300 handhelds, I have one micro sd card with a lot of maps on it (birdseye, .jnx jiles), I copied the maps to a new sd card hoping I could use those maps with both devices but it doesn't work. The new handheld gives the error of "Invalid satellite file" with the original and copied sd card. I am assuming the maps are somehow locked to the original device. Is ...

My son in law is looking for a Truck Sat Nav and I noticed there are some Garmin ones (Garmin Dezi 560 LMT) .
I say Garmin as I've had one and downloaded maps etc off here and familiar with the software etc.

I'm guessing I may not be the only one but here goes. I recently uploaded new maps on my Garmin Nuvi58. All seemed to go well. Garmin Express says the maps are there. However, when I turn on my Nuvi58 I'm greeted by "Detailed maps are required for routing. No detailed maps found on this device", Screen then changes to "Cannot unlock maps". If I look in the Garmin folder on the Nuvi it just ...
