Maps Are Corrupt And Cannot Be Used

Post by **Jim1348** » Sat Dec 16, 2023 2:08 am

When I power up my Garmin Zumo XT, I get the message, "Maps are corrupt and cannot be used. Go to www.garmin.vom/express to download the latest maps. OK"

How do I get rid of that message. The Garmin Zumo XT does seems to work just fine, despite that message.

Did you re download the maps?

Yes, I sure did.

Maybe not a Garmin map, have you installed any 3rd party maps?

Post by **Jim1348** » Sat Dec 16, 2023 12:45 pm

Yes, I have installed a number of non-Garmin 3rd party maps on it.

Remember that there should be only one active routable map for an area.

Un-check the non-Garmin maps in myMaps.

If the message persists, remove all the 3rd party maps and replace one at a time.

You could also try running JaVaWa's Device Manager and see if that throws up any errors

Javawa's Device manager does not work for the XT. The XT uses MTP and that is not supported by Javawa Device Manager!

Ah yes, true. Shame

As is often the case, when I am looking for other things online, I run across something that I was looking for in the past. I think the reason I was getting the message: Maps Are Corrupt And Cannot Be Used is because I added a map in UTF-8. In retrospect, I should have used maps in Latin-1 format.
