Go buy another SD card and put map there as you will not use local and Taiwan map at same time.

Download our map installer via this link viewtopic.php?p=123970#p123970
Run the installer to generate the Garmin map file gmapsupp.img
Copy this map file into SD card/garmin sub folder

Bro Amos, suggest you use a smaller capacity card as the Nuvi might not support a 64G SDHC. Try a 8G and follow the procedure I mentioned in my earlier respond and see how it goes.

I believe this model does not support maps on external SD card; I have this problem in the earlier 40LM model. If incorrect, someone please correct me.

BTW, shouldn't this be in the GPS Devices section where there is already a 52LM thread.
Nuvi 2575; 40LM; Nexus 4

You can select and download either Malsingmaps or Malfreemaps or both but please check one map only when you are using.

bro,

what the moderator said was correct.. the keyword is 1 file, named as "gmapsupp.img"
the only thing is, you can only have 1 gmapsupp.img file in existence for the nuvi to read it correctly..

take a look at your nuvi 52lm.. you may have this file "gmapsupp.img" either in your gps internal memory. if so, you just need to replace this with the correct "gmapsupp.img" file..
this internal memory is not your sd card..

just remember, in order for it to work correctly, only 1 "gmapsupp.img" can exist.. if you have 1 "gmapsupp.img" in internal memory and 1 "gmapsupp.img" in your sd card.. your nuvi will not read correctly.
