I have my USA maps on an old Nav 5 and want to transfer these to a new Nav 6 unit. Maps were purchased and loaded to the Nav 5. I have created a virtual Unit on my PC so I have access to the files on my lap top but I don't know how to transfer the USA maps from the pc to the new Unit.
Any ideas?
 
Have a look at jawava. Or similar name. Free software that helps.

thanks yes, I have checked that pout but it seems not possible to switch the purchased maps from device.....a bit crazy really.

Garmin maps are coded to the device onto which they were first installed. This is to help to reduce pirated or re-sold copies of the maps (very popular on these pages in the past) flooding into the market.

Hardly any need now with good OSM maps available easily.
