Just download the latest map (current release: 110530) from the Free Public Download section. Click the executable file and it will self extract. The installation guide is here: viewtopic.php?p=9291#p9291

I would highly recommend that you copy the extracted gmapsupp.img file into a SD card, ie X:/Garmin/gmapsupp.img and not into the main memory at Y:/Garmin/gmapsupp.img. This is to avoid the endless-loop saga if the map in the main memory gets corrupted. If it was in the SD card, you could easily remove the card and re-install the map.

Hi and welcome to MFM. Please go to this page to download the latest weekly map.

viewtopic.php?f=23&t=8442&start=0

After the installation process on your PC, just copy gmapsupp.img file to the SD card of your Nuvi.
