The Zumo 550 comes with a DVD with all the mapping which was on your Zumo. Can't you re-install it from there? I'm sure you can, but I don't know exactly how and wouldn't like to give advice which may cause you further problems. However, Garmin are quite good at helping people with their problems. I suggest you contact them, you can find their contact number on their website.
Have you actually deleted it? or have you just clicked something which is stopping it from reading the map?
I'll dig out my own Zumo and see if there's something you might have clicked. What were you trying to do when you lost the maps?

OK I've had a quick look at my Zumo.
Try this
Start the Zumo and when you get the screen which says "where to" and "view map" Look at the bottom right hand corner of the screen. Click on the small spanner icon.
This will bring up a page of icons. At the top left hand corner you should see an icon which says Map. Click this. On the next screen you should see at the bottom centre of the screen a box which says "map Info" Click this
This opens up a page and shows which maps you have installed. Make sure the City Navigator Europe 2008 is ticked.
If you've tried this I appologise
Jim

Hi
Ok well i was trying to update the basemap to routeable......... dont ask i know why did i do this!!!

The city navigator europe is still on the zumo but when you look at the map there is not the base map showing, it is just the route, sounds stragne i know but it is not the normal screen............

So i guess i can go back up............. i may have to try calling zumo!!

problem is not my zumo but my partners and i am now trying to get it back to normal without him knowing that currently there is something missing..........
