You should be able to go into your device settings to disable the parts not needed/allowed.
I also seem to remember updating my Garmin maps a while ago and those for France were not included. I think it was due to France making camera alerts illegal at the time and Garmin taking the simple option of not allowing the France maps. I am not sure how they work now as not needed France Sat nav . I will have a look later. I suspect Garmin have updated their software to deal with it.
