HOW TO CHECK FOR CORRUPTED FILES ON MY GARMIN NUVI ZIP FILE
make a directory on the PC for downloading the map zip file to - I use satnav-zip. Certainly save you time compared with Garmin Express and you can update monthly (25th of each month approx they are available). So follow the procedure below and I hope you find it worthwhile. but I have the truck satnav app on the phone for route planning, bridges and weight limits. For multi-drop I find the Garmin excellent with the 2D plan view selected rather than 3D as it is useful to look at the surrounding road names. You could put several countries maps on the sd-card (but rename the different maps - I just leave mine as it is gmapsupp.img as I have only used the UK map. The procedure below will not over write any orignal Garmin data/operating system - as you are only putting a map on the sd-card which the device kindly reads FIRST and loads before looking at the maps on the device. What a pain and then I found out about OSM - downloaded the map, installed it on an sd-card, took about 30 mins and little hassle. A friend updated the maps on his windows laptop for me and it took about 4 hours with the Garmin Express programme. I bought a Garmin Nuvi 52LM in 2014 (have tried a later model but had to send it back with a faulty power button and so stayed with the old faithful) when I started van driving, and could not update maps as I was not a windows user. You could try the maps on a truck satnav (in car mode) using the sd-card as below but I've not tried it. I think they are only available for Garmin but if you have a TomTom device with an sd-card slot then it may work. and that's why you pay for them! Being a Linux Xubuntu user (last used windows in 2007) I tend to believe in community projects and OSM will not disappoint. These are checked by area reps in different countries - Garmin and TomTom would claim their maps are better. Using OSM maps (OpenStreet map data ) I think I should explain that this is a community project and folk all over the world contribute to updating maps. it may seem a bit simpiistic but follow it and all will be fine. Hope this will help! I posted it on a trucker's forum.

Trying to install the Austrian and UK maps. I have only Australian and New Zealand maps installed. I then sent it to the GPS directly by selecting apperaed to load it directly the Nuvi. It comes up as a CD disc image file ? however it is gmapsupp.img.
