Unable to load topo maps to Oregon 450

Former Member over 11 years ago

About a month or so ago I turned on my Garmin and it would't boot. After some futzing around I got it to boot, however, it no longer sees my topo map (that I paid for through Garmin). I could see it on the sd card, however it wouldn't copy. I managed to get the files off of the device. They are as follows:

Topo24K_Northeast.gma - 3kb
Topo24K_Northeast.img - 1.638 gb
Topo24K_Northeast.unl - 1kb

I now have these files and it seems that no matter where I put hem the 450 doesn't see it, nor does basecamp, mapinstall, or mapsource. Does anyone know how I can get the 450 to recognize these files?

How did you get the map? If it came pre installed on a sd card it will be locked to that card so you can't copy it onto your GPS or any other card.

I assume you downloaded them to your current device?

Are they in the Garmin folder on the GPS? If so and it's not seeing them then the file is probably corrupted. Are you able to download them again to check?
