1 : (update back) the firmware (revert to version 20.50), if the map was displayed with that firmware.

2 : contact Garmin to resolve the map display issue.
Thanks Przekatny, I will see about downgrading the firmware and contact Garmin

Good morning
I have just contacted Garmin, they tell me that my Garmin Topo France V6 SD card is normal and is not displayed in the map manager, if I put an OSM card on a micro SD and then in the GPS it is not displayed either, I find this strange whereas before I saw my card.

Try to get a different Garmin rep. I can still see my uSD OSM maps in map manager.

@ Staysee
If I were you I would install the firmware in an older version,
if only to make sure that the map can be displayed in Montana 700.

You can always revert to the current version of the software.

Garmin told me that it was not possible to revert to a previous version and personally I do not know the procedure

You are getting bad information.

See GPSrChive > Montana 7x0 > Firmware > GCD Updates for details.

Thank you thank you thank you, GPSrChive and Przekatny I followed your procedure and everything works my topo map is in the map manager list so a problem with incorrectly installed firmware on my GPS or firmware which creates this bug

Which firmware version did you install that allows you to see the map in the map manager?

Please also provide some new screen captures that show the map displayed in the Map Manager page!

Thank you!

Good morning
Often the resolution of one problem leads to another, this must be the case for me.
I installed the old firmware 20.50 with the procedure that you indicated to me, I learned a lot with you in a few days, on the other hand if I connect my GPS to the PC and when I disconnect it the montana asks me if I wants to update the new software if I say yes it installs version 22.70 I find myself with the same problem, I tried it.
Another problem I have the impression that my Topo Active Europe maps are having a display problem, this does not bother me but that it would be deleted I only use my GPS for geocaching, hiking and sometimes by bike, I will give you screenshots during the day. THANKS
