Maps of Europe for my GPS

You need the set-up disc that came with the unit, I have the one that came with mine but I do not know if it will copy to a blank disc and work.

Check this link i think it will be helpfull for you:

Your probably loading the maps OK, but the numbers your supplying the program and you 3600 are not compatable.

1. Make sure you have software that came WITH your unit..... It will not work with anothers discs.

2. Do a total ERASE of the disk and your 3600 both. Use your computer do erase the chip disk, and read your book how to do a total ERASE of your unit.

It is critical that you use the correct software.

Try this first, if it does not solve problem, get back to us.

Kindly,

Jim

the software for running the maps is not compatible is the cause.

I solved the problem by re-calibrating the screen. Go to the home icon on the screenn tap preferences, date and time, then tap digitizer. Then follow the prompts and tap exactly on the target Xs.
Thanks!

You can download for free the installation disk software from www.garmin.com. You can also download a base map, but may have to buy maps from Garmin for more detailed maps/charts. You may need the serial number of the unit to unlock the maps, this is on a paper sticker under the gps antenna.

I had same problem,even the SD card had maps on it. I did another map install and hot sync, then maps loaded ok.

You can get City Navigator 2008 CD from your local Garmin dealer. Cost around $100.
It updates via MapSource program and USB connection to IQue 3600.
Do not get "NT" maps as 3600 does not understand "NT" compression

Even with the maps unlocked it they can appear to be locked.
There are little known flags to diable/enable the base/detailed maps.
Check that the boxes are checked under the <Map><Options><Misc>
You can select either base or detailed maps there.
Disable both and it looks like the unit doesn't have any maps.

Are you running Vista? If so, contact Garmin for a download that allows the maps to be loaded.
