it would be useful to know where (which website exactly) you downloaded your map and what its filename is.

Likely you will be helped by looking at the maaany old (already answered) Garmin questions – see the tags below your question. For example: basic-guide-to-download-osm-to-garmin-gps. For example get a pre-made map from http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/ (osm_generic_gmapsupp.zip from the download options).

You need to copy the .img file into a "Garmin" directory on the SD card. See how-to-use-multiple-different-maps-on-garmin-dakota-20.
