Installing Older Maps on eTrex 30x

On my eTrex Legend C I used a map call GPS Topo Ile de France. It was installed on MapSource and sections of the map could be downloaded from MapSource to the device. I have since installed BaseCamp and Mapinstall and have been progressively migrated things over. GPS Topo Ile de France is not registered in myGarmin.

I'm at the point where I see GPS Topo Ile de France listed in Mapinstall as already installed on my eTrax 30x. But when I look in the storage on the device I can't see where it would be installed . When I use the eTrex menus to locate the map on the device it doesn't show up and I expect that when I follow a route, the information from this map is not being displayed.

Can I have confidence in Mapinstall that the map is really installed on the device or is Mapinstall not particularly reliable? How can I check whether this map is really installed on the eTrex?

Mapinstall does not seem to provide a way to uninstall a map. Is it possible that something went wrong in the installation of this map. How could I start over?

Or am I stuck having to purchase a new map?

I don't think the map "GPS Topo Ile de France " as ever locked to a device. I see the copyright on the map is 2005. Mapsource was able to install it on two different devices.

I take that back, I'm looking at the documentation and apparently it did allow locking to two devices. I will now assume that this product is obsolete and I cannot install it on my eTrex 30x.
