help needed garmin map install

Hello. I have an old Garmin device SP 2820 on my motorbike which is enough for me as I have a clever enough phone to navigate me as well. I downloaded Europe 2021 NT version here. But it doesnt have any setup executable file. I need to see the map on my mapsource to be put into device harddrive. Any help would be appreciated. Please teach as if you are teaching a newbie.

Basecamp routes -> Garmin GPS question

Considering getting a new Garmin GPS for use in the car. Have a couple of questions about which ones work best with Basecamp.

Which Garmin units (if any) will follow a route exactly as created in Basecamp, and -not- try to recalculate?

Which Garmin units (if any) will recognize avoidance areas created in Basecamp?

Please don't think you need to list them all. If you have a Garmin which does one or both of the ...

Recommend a battery vendor for old Garmin?

My GPS is a nuvi 1490. A little over a year ago I bought a replacement battery from someplace on Amazon. It hasn't lasted very long, now only holds a charge for 20-30 minutes.

Is there a vendor out there who sells good quality batteries?

Thx

How to prevent Garmin Nuvi 1100 from going into Mass Storage

I'm trying to figure out how to prevent my Garmin Nuvi 1100 from going in to Mass Storage mode when using a USB cord, and not the lighter charger. I've tried the method where you hold the battery symbol for 8 seconds to enter and exit test mode, and that didn't work. Is this just not possible to do?

Help: Updating Nuvi 42

Hi all,

Great site! Thanks for those who maintain it.

However, I'm a bit bewildered by the range of maps and software available, and hoping someone can offer clear instructions on how to update the maps on my Garmin Nuvi 42. (A basic explanation for dummies is what I need!)

I updated the device once before using maps from a torrent site. However, this was a few years ago and I can't remember whether I ...

Cannot unlock maps message

This is driving me crazy. My Zumo is giving the "Cannot unlock Maps" message, even if all maps are removed from it! (Could it be something to do with the Demo Map? As far as I know it's still on the device.)

It has the patched firmware, if I do put an unlocked map on it it works! But still says it can't Unlock the maps....

Does anyone have an idea how I can get ...
