I just bought the Nuvi 200w yesterday. I registered and downloaded the free 2009 map. While trying to install the map on the gps, a window popped up saying I needed 37 more MB of space on the garmin unit. I installed a new universal 2GB SD Card in the garmin unit to solve this problem. No change. Still get the same window. Is the Nuvi200w software not recognizing the sd card? How do you solve the problem I'm incurring while trying to download the new maps?

During the process of registering (online at the Garmin site) the Nuvi200w I bought yesterday, I was informed by Garmin that I was qualified for the free 2009 upgraded Navigator street map within the next 14 days either by down loading it or by CD. The CD was going to cost $10.00 so I decided to download it. The new map may not have been available when you bought yours. I don't know.

Tried to install Garmin Map Update 2009 on my Nuvi 650 and I get the message "unrecoverable error". This is with a PC with Vista and also a MAC.
Garmin tech support is no help.

I have downloaded the 2009 map update TWICE (~3 hours each time), and I got a message saying there was an "unrecoverable error" both times.
ANY idea on how to avoid this???

Mike, I bought the DVD at Wal Mart so I did not do the online download. If you keep getting server problems with Garmin I would go get the DVD. Did I mention I waited 35 minutes for a Garmin support person this moning. The good news is that he was in Kansas!!!

Hey justmike000: could you provide details on the free 200w map download, I purchased a 200w at the beginning of April, registered it, etc., but am unaware of a free map update. Thanks.
- Install WebUpdater http://www8.garmin.com/products/webupdater/howtoinstall.jsp This will update the garmin's firmware.
- Restart the garmin to complete the install of FW
- Make sure that you have room on your garmin to accept the webupdater and new map... delete unused help, voice and vehicle files. I now only have American English on my Garmin, but if I pick up a new language I can go to webupdater and reinstall those languages I dropped
- Restart the map update. I'm in the middle of it now, but so far so good

As far as the space issue, I had to delete all text languages except the only one I use, English, and for voice I kept only English and English/British. That worked fine and it installed w/out a glitch!
