Do you get an error message about the maps?
Does Garmin see the maps?
What procedure did you use to install the maps?

Maps on a SD card need to be in a folder called either Garmin or Map before it is seen, it's been a while and i don't remember exactly which one.

No. Maps on a SD card need to be named gmapsupp.img. In the internal, maps need to be named gmapprom.img. What Fatboyfun is saying is the first thing [on the SD card where you already have gmapsupp.img] the maps must be either in a folder called Garmin or Map. Create a folder on your SD card called Garmin and drag the gmapsupp.img file into it. If that doesn't work do the same with a folder called Map. One of them will work.
If it ain't broke don't fix it!

5138 What Garmin program are you running and where did you get it? No software comes with a map. A basemap, maybe. That is something you add separately. What maps did you download?

Attachment is from my old SD card. Maps have been updated since then.
