I have a NUVI 200W and have just downloaded map of Europe from OSM. Apparently, it is a zipped file from just over 2 Gb to 344 Mb. However, when I tried to unzip, an error message saying file is empty. properties of the file show size as 344 Mb. File name is : gmapsupp.img.nwe.22052013 I don't think I can save the file as gmapsupp.img in Garmin folder and use it on my Garmin. I have downloaded maps of Malaysia and Singapore previously and have had no problem.

It would help if you specify where you downloaded this map, as there are many sites that offer garmin images from OSM data.

Why do you think it is a zipped file ? it probably is a plain garmin img file, as trying to recompres those is usually fruitless.

It could be that the download did not finish or failed. Do you use a download helper with your browser? If not, consider using one, they generally are more effective and you will normally see that the download was completed and successful. A map for Europe is not going to be small, typically ≥ 2GB.

(B for byte, i.e. 1MB = 1 Million Bytes, b for bit, i.e. 1Mb = 1 Million bits)
