Why doesant my new Garmin 1:50 SD card load ? what am I not doing? no info on any website?
All that is there is the base map no 1:50
someone on STW will know?
tried the usual take in take out! switch off switch on etc
any help appreciated
Have you pushed it right in till it clicks?
Have you selected the OS map in the menu?
You have to go into settings and maps and activate the map and deactivate any other maps you are using!
Thanks NeilB
did click
No OS map on menu only Base map

went into settings, diabled the base but ! there is no other map to enable??
Try a full reset but this will lose all your screen settings. Push and hold top left of screen while turning on the power. It should then ask if you want to to a full reset.
What do you see on the SD card on your computer - you should have a GPMAPSUPP.IMG (well at least a img file which should be about 2.5 Gb IIRC) file in the Garmin folder?
Also try talkytoaster opensource maps onto a different SD card using mapsource and see it that works? As above a hard resent may work but you will loose the data and settings!
This also also be a bit of a help?

You are correct thats what it says - what do I do with it now [sorry!]
Where are you bikeman..?
neil - somerset
Mmmm, I was going to say to could try my card but im in Brum. 🙄
If your still struggling then Im driving down to Penzance tomorrow with my bike. Your welcome to try my card and I can have a look if your near the M5/A30 tomorrow morning.
Have a look at Mobile Atlas Creator. You can use it to get 1:25000 OS maps onto the 800. Works a treat.
Thanks to Neil and Foxy
will keep messing about with it - have reset etc - sure there is something simple - will ask around locally - got to go an help cook lunch for 10 now!!
Have a good trip to Penzance - not good riding off major roads at the moment but! a beautiful day and rain forcast!!!
Looks like I will have to send the whole lot back to Evans 🙁 as cant get the SD 1:50 to work and rather than mess about downloading etc - as its brand new.
Lesson buy local easier to return to shop!
