Is it possible to put New Zealand maps on a UK Garmin Nuvi 55 ??
Hi there-
I live in the UK but am on on holiday in New Zealand.
I have a Garmin Nuvi 55 with UK maps and would like to use it to navigate in New Zealand. Whilst I have seen New Zealand maps available on this forum, I have no idea how to convert my device so that it runs New Zealand Maps instead of UK maps. Is this even possible ?
If this can be done, is it a simple process ? Would someone be able to guide me through the process of doing this ? It would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi dear,
your device doesn't recognize Unlocked Maps unless you flash a Patched Firmware.
I've prepared for you ad SD Package
After you have installed the patched firmware, simply do as follow:
1) get an empty microSD (2, 4, 8 GB as you want)
2) create the folder Garmin and put inside the Unlocked Map of Australia&NewZealand
3) create the folder Grmin\JCV and put inside the relative JCV (Raster JCV)
That's All!

Dear Firefox-
Thank you ever so much for your help. This is a surprise and truly appreciated.
I will try to understand what to do (I'm not technically minded) and get back to you if I have any queries- such as what the unlocked maps and raster files actually look like !
Thanks again,
Colin.

Firefox58-
This worked !!! I can’t thank you enough as I was becoming really stuck trying to navigate here in New Zealand as little mobile coverage. I can’t quite believe I was able to follow the technical instructions but it worked! Thanks ever so much for your brilliant help, it has made my life so much easier. Really appreciated.
Colin.
