+chrislux12 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I turned my GPSmap 62st on and it tells me "cannot unlock maps" when I select "OK" it then starts up and the only map on my device "Recreational Map Europe v3" is then shown, this map came with my device and I have not bought any other maps, when I open it in Garmin Mapinstall it says "No unlocked maps were found for this device." my device firmware is up to date, I have done a master reset but it made no difference, the only thing prior to this happening was that I put on a BajanNav V02 04 1 map of Barbados, it was a free download from their website and my device did work fine afterwards, I have since removed it, I do not have an SD card in with any other maps, I am running out of idea's what to do Quote Link to comment
+chrislux12 Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 When I connect it to the pc I am seeing "gmapbmap.img"(49.808kb), "gmapprom.img"(3,101,824kb) and "gmaptz.img"(594kb) 2 maps came pre-installed with the GPSmap 62st they are "Recreational Map Europe v3" and "Global Map" What would be the best method to post the files?

+chrislux12 Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 yes it's quite bizarre, maybe time to get a new one. Quote Link to comment
+Atlas Cached Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Do you have a complete backup of your device from when it was new? There may have been a gmapprom.unl file included with the gmapprom.img map that was recently removed, causing the message to be displayed. Hard to say, I am not there with the GPSr. Contact Garmin and ask them ;-) Quote Link to comment
+chrislux12 Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 I do not see a gmapprom.unl but there is a gmapprom.sum file, I don't have a back up from new, is it possible to delete all the files on the device and start over? I don't have any paid for maps on it just the ones that were pre-installed and can easily live with just OSM maps. Quote Link to comment

Make a complete backup of everything on the GPSr NOW, as it will not rewrite profiles etc.... you will have to copy them back from the backup you make NOW. Quote Link to comment
