More Garmin crapness
- Thread starter stolzy
- Start date
Agreed, that seems like the only option, crap as it is.
BTW I think a 550 will only take a 4GB SD card

It will fit all Europe on with room to spare. Lunepilot is using an 8GB in his 550.

With a Zumo 400 or 500 series, make sure its firmware is up to date. See this from Garmin's FAQs https://support.garmin.com/support/searchSupport/case.faces?caseId={18331ce0-4af6-11e3-f27b-000000000000}
Tether end situation
So having failed to get the maps onto the Zumo, I deleted everything and started again.
Used Express to load the maps and lit loaded Northwest Europe successfully.
So how do I now get the remainder of Europe onto the device. I have a 4GB SD card which is enough. I've tried several times to load the whole lot using mapinstall. This appears to work for a while, but there is eventually always a communication error and the process stops.
Any ideas before I junk it?

If you have got all Europe on your computer can you use a card reader to get the maps onto the SD card?
Express won't transfer to SD card on a 550.
but where should they go and in what format. I think XML files are involved

Use MapInstall it should see card reader & send maps to it, this is with Zumo not connected to PC
MapInstall installs maps onto your Garmin USB GPS devices and SD card readers.
