Garmin Nuvi 215 Map Question

firiesclose

I have a Garmin Nuvi 215 GPS that I bought in 2008 (I think) and it came with Ireland and UK map on it. Other than being able to turn it on, enter my address there is little else I can do or understand about a GPS. Never did anything with it until last year when we were going to Austria and Czech Republic and I needed a map so I bought City Navigator(R) Europe NT: Download for €77.50. Choose download as I thought this would the easiest option to download map directly onto my GPS to discover that because the map was soo big I could only download sections at a time. If I had choosen 'SD' card I would have received the map on a card. Discovered this when it was too late and Garmin would not change the order. It was a mircle that I was able to download that section of the map onto my GPS. So the maps on my GPS for past year have been Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary as this was the region I needed last year. I have not used my GPS since until yesterday when I went on line to download Ireland and UK (travelling to Scotalnd next month) to discover the map I purchased last year is now expired since April 2012. My question is: where is the original Ireland and UK map that came with the GPS? Is it gone? I have been fiddling around with it and fiddling being the operative word and I can’t find Ireland UK. After paying €77.50 for Europe is the only part I have of it now Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary?

Yes thanks, I emailed Garmin and I got a very detailed step by step instructions how to download the map again so I now have Ireland and UK on my GPS and I have Europe on my computer (by all accounts) but that will be anothers days work if I need to download that to the GPS in the future.
