I have a Nuvi 760 which I bought last year and recently bought the NuMaps lifetime option.
All installation steps seemed to go well but over the weekend I went to check a favourite I had added in Italy and discovered that I only seemed to have a scetch map of area, with just one or two roads appearing in area and no details.
I then checked a French favourite and the same very basic map appears. On investigating I only seem to have detailed maps for UK and Ireland.
This seems to be confirmed by the details appearing under Tool/Settings/Map/Map info which gives "CN Europe NT 2009.11, [1] UK and Ireland".
However, in myGarmin it is described as "City Navigator Europe NT 2009.10, Deluxe All REgions, Jan 09"
I sent a message to Garmin Support but have heard nothing back as yet and wonder if anyone else had this problem or can suggest a solution.

Just to say that I rang Garmin yesterday and a very helpful rep guided me through downloading the detailed maps for the rest of Europe.
It was a matter of going to map install and highlighting the "missing" areas on the map displayed. After that it was automatic with a few clicks in boxes.

The general rules for updating maps are...

Connect your nuvi to the PC

The upgrade map will contain ALL mapping for the major region (i.e. if you have UK&Ireland you will get ALL Europe).

The installation process from the upgrade will upgrade the installed region(s) on your nuvi and if you are connected to the internet, automatically retrieve and apply the unlock code.

If you have (for example) a nuvi 310 with UK&Ireland then you can use the MapInstall program to selectively install additional area of the mapping to an SD card which will work in your nuvi.

If you want to have end to end routing you will need all the mapping in one place. I.e. with the nuvi 310 example above, if you want to plan a route from UK to Italy - you will need all the maps for all the countries involved in the same location - that is UK&I and the others on the SD card. This is because you can only have one mapset in use at the same time. The simplest way to achieve this is to install everything onto an SD card and use that.
