How to install a free map on Garmin nuvi 42

Can you please help me: I have a .img, .unl and .gma file related to Israel map and I want to install them on my nuvi42 Garmin GPS bought last week on the GPS internal memory to use it when I will drive in Israel on Friday and next week. I've already copied in Garmin folder the files and changed name to the files to gmapsupp.img and gmapsupp.gma and gmapsupp.unl and also gmapprom.img, gmapprom.gma and gmapprom.unl, but navigator cannot find routes to Israel.

If you can please help me will very appreciated.

Thanks
