New Garmin not recognizing old Garmin microsd maps?

Apologize is this question is in the wrong area

For years I’ve used the same two microsd cards from Garmin (city navigator maps for Europe). My old Nuvi 400 finally died and I just bought a new Drive 5

when I plug in my microsd cards, the Drive 5 wants to reformat them. I just tested the cards in a friends ancient nuvi 140 and the still load and pull up fine.

How do I make them work in my Drive 5? (Since they are actual Garmin maps I assume they are locked to the cards?)

flying to italy in about 6 hours....

thanks!
