Apologies. I think I unintentionally did a duplicate post. Didn't know how to delete it so just deleted the text.

I addressed this in post # 11 "When you get to the Europe map you might have to name it gmapsup1 so it does not clash with the AU & NZ maps."
Your device cannot see two maps with the same name on the SD card gmapsupp.img .Change one to gmapsup1.img.
Did you make sure your nuvi has the latest firmware .The link I gave you was for Europe NT so don't worry you have the right maps.

Put the .gpi file in the Poi folder on the device with no problem. As mentioned in an earlier post today, I have not been able to get the device to recognise the Europe NT map when installed on the GPS. Its the only file on the SD card and is named gmapsupp.img. The Australia map on a separate SD card shows in the map list on the device. I tried a Eastern Europe .img file which I found when I unpacked the rar file as it was a smaller file size. The device did not recognise that one either. Garmin_Nuvi - just read your reply as I'm working on this post. I think my file naming was correct as per your advice but I'll double check. Haven't checked the firmware so will do that now. Again, appreciate your patience and help.

Latest action I've taken:
updated device software to latest version.
Formatted 8GB SD card (MSDOS FAT32) and loaded Europe NT map (size: 4.19GB) named gmapsupp.img (only file on card)
Inserted in GPS; map did not show up in list in map info; only old maps installed on device.
Sourced a 2018 Europe NT map; renamed; loaded onto card; installed; did not show in list.
Loaded 2020 Eastern Europe on card; installed; did not show in list.
AU_NZ map on SD card works fine.
Likely a simple solution to my problem but its eluding me at the moment.

I had saved on my Mac, a 2012.40 version (1.97GB) of CN Europe NT which I reloaded onto an empty 4GB SD card; named the file gmapsupp.img and placed it in a 'Garmin' folder on the card. Fitted the card into the device and the map showed in the list on Map Info page. So it appears that the SD card and file naming I have used are okay. Doesn't help with explaining why later version NT Europe maps loaded on an SD card don't show-up on my device while the latest NT AU_NZ map does.

Thank you Garmin_Nuvi. Our posts have crossed once more. You have found the answer to my problem and is confirmed by the file size of the old Europe map I had. Thanks also for the links to the reduced file size maps. I maybe pushing my luck but would a map that includes Croatia and Montenegro be available? These are the countries we'll be travelling to later this month. Again, thank you for your help.
