Doing so had no ill effect on the map install or function everything functioned perfectly, after which I downloaded the whole 2019 US map package. Handyman - totally on a lark, I removed the gmapbmap.img file from the 550's memory prior to installing 1 test map segment after I downgraded MapInstall. everything! If I wasn't so damned old, I'd do a freakin' cartwheel right now! The 'Map Info' button shows the correct map version, the 'View Map' is back to normal. Installed the 2019 US maps to the original 16gb SD card I started this exercise with, and plugged it into the 550. I uninstalled MapInstall 4.1.1, then found, downloaded and installed MapInstall 4.0.0. I'll try that next.Īdvnzer - you nailed it.

Right now, the only thing I haven't done is remove MapInstall 4.1.1 and download 4.0.xxxx. The 'Map Info' button within 'Settings' was grayed out, even though I saw piecemeal map renderings on the screen. It was like the rendering wasn't complete and didn't include ALL the map data that should have been displayed.Ĩ. After bootup, I selected 'View Map' and saw that the screen showed larger roadways, but not detailed city and neighborhood streets, etc. During bootup, the 'Loading Maps' message showed for about 1 second and then disappeared. Then I loaded the SD card w/2019 maps and turned on the 550. Anyway, I retrieved an older gmapbmap.img file (2013) from an archived backup and installed that into the 550. I have to assume it wasn't there last year either I had the 2018 maps loaded on the SD card at that time, as well. The 550 didn't have the gmapbmap.img file it its memory. The 550 didn't see that SD card or its map files either.Ħ. Then I thought maybe it was somehow a bad SD card, so I used another one (FAT32-formatted) and containing the 2019 maps.ĥ. The 550 is not seeing any maps on the SD card. I removed the Maryland map from the 550's memory and reinserted the SD card with the 2019 maps.Ĥ. The 550 still saw the Maryland map in its memory, but no SD maps.ģ. Inserted the SD card with the 2019 map files into the 550. The 'Map Info' button displayed the 2019 file info for Maryland, just like normal. MapInstall 4.1.1 loaded the state of Maryland directly to the 550 with no issues.
