Detailed maps become visible at several zoom levels only (depends on map settings). At other zoom levels you will see a green rectangle only. So, try to zoom in and zoom out your map.
By the way, is the map file not corrupted? Try to give it to me using Dropbox or Google drive. I shall check it.

Oh, do not worry 
Magellan official map files are locked to serial number of particular GPS device or SD card. You can not use the locked map at other device becouse every Magellan device have unique serial number.
I propose to check map file checksum as described at OSM wiki http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Magellan/Format/imi_archive
I wrote the small program that can pack/unpack Magellan maps and check their checksum. Unpacked map consist of several files. A couple of this files contain copyprotection info. The algorithm of this protection is unknown. Without this files a repacked map becomes visible at VantagePoint, but GPS device refuse to open it.
