It's hard to imagine you downloaded 2 unlocked IMG files that appear to not work. I suspect something else.
Assuming the IMG files were ok, I can only think of 2 reasons those maps didn't work for you.
1. The IMG file was not copied in the right location in the GPS. It MUST be in the Garmin folder on a 350
2. The file was named wrong and you didn't realize it. In your 350 your maps can be named either "gmapprom.img" OR "gmapsupp.img" and they will work if they are in the Garmin folder.
Depending on your windows explorer settings It's very easy on a windows system to inadvertently get the file rename wrong during a rename.
There is a setting called something like "Hide Extensions For Known File Types" that should NOT be checked but may be the default setting.
A common problem (especially on Vista and other Windows O/S)
Example...
If you start with a downloaded file named "gmapsupp.img" and during the rename to "gmapprom.img" If you enter the full name "gmapprom.img" in the rename box you can end up with the file actually being named "gmapprom.img.img" because windows already has the IMG extension and automatically adds it. The GPS will not recognize it as a map file.
This is easily checked for... After renaming the file, right-click the file it and choose "properties". Windows will reveal the name that it is using.
