Just when I thought I understood the whole Garmin/Zumo thing I'm stuck with this one.

When I updated the maps some time ago, I needed to select some regions because the entire map was too large to fit (Zumo 550).

1. Tomorrow I'm going for a cross Europe trip and I want to check which regions I loaded into the Zumo. How can I check this?

2. How can I change these regions? I now have a 8GB SD card in the unit so I would like to upload the entire map to the card. Selecting all regions in Mapsource and sending to the device does not work as it is too big (~300MB left).

I'm thinking of deleting one of the map files on the unit, but don't want to mess things up just before the holidays.

What am I missing?

Reply to self (and possibly others who are as dim as me)
When sending the selected map regions from Mapsource to the device, simply select SD card instead of Zumo :blast

Still curious show to easily check which regions are on the Zumo :augie
 
Not sure if this is the best way, but when viewing the map just keep zooming out to see how much mapping you have..

Turn Zumo on

Select "wrench" (the spanner icon bottom right hand side on screen)

Select "map" (top left)

Select "map info" (middle button, bottom of screen)
