Customer working with the Trimble GFX-1260. Trying to figure out how to get VR maps to load on it? Appears to have new format or new structure?

Yes, answering my own question! The answer below is good for the Trimble GFX monitors (maybe good for the TMX 2050?).
ADMS Rx Creation Side – Suggest making the VR.grd map into “hardbreaks” with 15 or less rate breaks or unique value/rates.
Then do an export SHP Grid and set it to 6m / Center / Infinite / Dissolve. This creates simple contour polygons that the Trimble can handle.
You will now have 1 or 2 or 3 SHP-Contour Polygons for use on the controller.
Files are ready to move to the USB for the controller. On the USB drive you must have this folder structure. AgData folder with a Prescriptions folder inside. If your usb drive was D: it should look like this D:\AgData\Prescriptions.
Put your SHP / SHX / DBF files inside the Prescriptions folder for all the fields and products you need. (DO NOT put the PRJ or GKT_VAF in this folder).
You should be ready for the field.
