Wow. Javawa Device Manager helped me to realize the map on the internal memory was saved in wrong folder and now it works!

No idea why they still don't work on the SD-card, but I don't care since I have now some maps back on my device. Finally, thanks a lot for help!!

Fair enough, it seems clear that the original map is corrupted forever since I don't have the other files.

That's perfectly fine if I just could get any other map to work. I mean I have downloaded dozens of new OSM maps and tried putting them on the SD-card, another SD-card or the internal memory, and nothing works out.

I won't get any error messages and the maps don't show up in the device in map settings either. I'm pretty sure the problem is in the device itself and I'm wondering if there is even deeper "reset" for that, than master reset.

Thanks for the reply. Copying maps (old or new ones) to the internal memory doesn't help.

The probable copy protection was something I was thinking about afterwards. The weird thing is that it didn't cause only the protected map not to work, but the same goes with the free OSM maps I've always used when traveling abroad.

The internal memory is FAT-32 so it should work... The memory card (2GB) is FAT-16 but I'm unable to reformat that as FAT-32 (there is no such option when choosing format).

I'm having a really strange problem that I've tried to solve for quite a while now. I have six years old GPSMAP 62s and all that time it has worked perfectly. For some reason, some time ago I temporarily removed the topo map (that had come with the SD-card) from the memory card. When putting it back, it didn't work anymore, and neither would any other map that worked before. It doesn't help to install the map to the actual device instead of the SD-card. It doesn't help changing the SD-card. It doesn't help master resetting the device. GPX-waypoints still work normally. I'm working on Mac if that gives any necessary info.

Can you guys help me out with this, I'm really confused and quite upset already?
