Zumo 396 Map on MicroSD Card?

Hi folks,

So, I have the Lifetime maps thing for my Zumo, BUT it started life with North America maps so that's all they will update. On my Nuvi's over the years I have put the new maps and music on the MicroSD card. Had to because the map files had outgrown the onboard memory.
well, the Zumo has more onboard memory and has my map and music. Can I just put my Euro map on a MicroSD card without deleting the onboard map?

If I could find a MINI USB cable, I'd just replace the map in the onboard memory.

Thanks,
Glenn

So, if anyone else is ever wondering, the short answer is NO.

I put the Euro map on the card and, while it works just fine in the Nuvi 885t, the Zumo 396 immediately showed Map File Corrupted and Cannot be Used.

Now, that Euro map file is actually two map files of different regions of Central & Eastern Europe stitched together. The City Navigator Europe 2013 consists of a dozen different regional files.

Either way, it looks like I need store bought maps for the Zumo in Europe.
