All firmware versions for nuvi can be downloaded from Garmin, but there is no searchable directory on Garmin site. You can search for upgrade info like this one:
You will find a link to firmware if you look at html source for this page

Some firmware versions can be found here:

Usually you can flash older firmware version without problems, but there are some cases, when flashing is not possible or can damage gps.

Thanks for the information. I was trying to backup the firmware so I can try to change its hardware to Taiwan firmware as I will be using it in Taiwan next week. But I have yet to try to update it to Taiwan firmware due to I am unsure if I have the ability to get it back to US firmware.

Thanks for the tip. I'm new at this so I guess I am learning as I go.
I tried the fix but still am getting the same message. not sure if the problem is registry-related because there is no mention of the registry in the error message. it just says "there is a problem with the lebanon installation. please re-install lebanon and start mapsource again". results of the fix say 9 maps checked (lebanon included) no problems to repair. here's the report in case it helps in diagnosing the problem

Hello,
I installed Garmin 5.00.20wp on my T-mobile HD2 wm6.5 device and unlocked the program, and downloaded the latest maps in the forums "gmapsupp_unlocked_jfsdpo(2).img" and the locked version too. I put each one and it doesnt work. It just says no map on the screen. But when i go to map data i can see the maps listed. How can i get it to work? I tried for 4 hours but in vain. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Raj
