Link mentioned in the video stopped working.
Here is new link where you can extract maps.
I don't have my Garmin satnav anymore so i can't fully test it.

Many thanks. My map was 10 years out of date. As a 77 year old pensioner I could not afford to pay Garmin to update. I am so pleased to have my Satnav updated. :-)

Thanks a lot! I have the exact Garmin model and year (2010) and had given up on it since it is not financially logical to pay Garmin $$$ for lifetime updates on this device. Your easy to follow video has injected new life in it. Thanks again!

Thank you so much 🙏 !! I did it first time myself.

I followed exactly what you said for downloading the torrent file. Later I formatted my SD card and created a Garmin folder and copied the .img file into that folder. That’s it boom !! I can see the updated maps. My device was more than 10 years old .No need update software in it by adding device on Garmin website unless you want it . Just download the latest map and copy it to SD card and put it in device.

Thank you again for your excellent tutorial. I got a bit braver and added some of France to my UK selection, and chose the extra scenery option. The added detail is excellent, and it all worked first go, including requesting the special file with the added areas of France which had to be sent to me by email. You have given new life to my GPS when I had nearly given up using it with its almost ten years out-of-date map. A Gold Star to you!!

Thank you so much! Worked like charm on my Nuvi 2405 :)

Map updates from Garmin are very expensive and they don't show all streets and adresses correctly in my country (Slovenia, Europe), and these free maps are perfect. Thanks!

Nicely explained! Worked perfectly.

I thought at first that the downloaded open source map would replace the existing Garmin map. But after listening carefully to your explanation and noticing in your video of the now TWO options in the Garmin menu, I see that my hesitation was unwarranted. In fact, I am now encouraged to load more countries individually. (I reside in western Europe and do a fair amount of traveling.

Sorry for the long-winded comment, just wanted to send you a sincere thank you for your tutorial. Keep up the good work!

Best, WL

Thank you, very useful. Updated maps for Eastern US with these on my mom's Nuvi 255W and also added Mexico maps to a 1450LMT. Note: Added a 16Gb Sim Card from Walmart to both to hold either these added maps or Garmin's map updates.
