Not enough space for maps?

Why doesn't my new Garmin 200 have enough space for the 2009 North America maps update?

  • Anonymous Mar 27, 2009

    I'm not trying to add any additional maps beyond the 2009 48 North American states + PR that I'm supposed to have installed on my unit.

The garmin does not have any space on it for maps,any additional maps are stored on a memory
card. I don't see where garmin says the size limit of the card but in most cases unless it says
SDHC memory card,then the max is a 2g sd card, I think the models 500 and over can use over a 2g card.,

    So it is the size of the sd card that you have in the unit that you have
    that must be full.

    What I was saying is the unit comes with maps on it, these maps can not be added to or changed,they are installed by the factory.
    Your only option is to add maps to the sd card.

    Now if you feel that the unit is missing part of the maps that are suppose to come with the unit, you need to contact Garmin at there website and tell them the problem and they should fix it. I have never tried to hack one of these units, so I would not know if you can wipe the units non volatile memory.

How can upgrade my garmin nuvi 255w gps?

Hello,

Using the Garmin WebUpdater will update the operating software.
http://www8.garmin.com/products/webupdater/howtoinstall.jsp

Map updates subscriptions are available as lifetime or onetime updates and are registered to the map that is installed on the Nuvi.

http://www.gpscity.com/garmin-numaps-update-city-navigator-nt-2012-north-america.html

The Nuvi 255w is an older unit and is probably due to be replaced. Once the battery dies on the unit, it can not be replaced easily.

There are a number of Garmin GPSs that come with lifetime map updates.

I just bought a Europe map from garmin for my nuvi 1300 and when I try to download it I get the message "insufficient Space". I have a North America map on my Garmin that I am not using at the...

Yes you do have to remove the North America map, I was just checking on the specs and they do not list that it supports a memory card so unfortunately due to the lack of available space on the solid state drive that comes built into this unit you will have to do the map switchover.

My nuvi 3760T does not have enough space to load europe map. Can I remove preloaded north america map and reload at a later date without losing it?

If you have the map downloaded from the garmin website to your computer you could remove it and replace it later. However a better option might be to download the map of Europe to your computer and install it to a micro SD card. A 4 Gb card would hold the map of Europe and you don't risk losing your North America map. You can get details of how to set up the map on your micro SD card at http://www.fixya.com/support/r5628920-update_garmin_satnav_maps
While this link is mainly about how to update your maps it has a section on setting up maps on an SD/Micro SD card also.

Free map updates

Unfortunately, they don't offer free map updates. You can purchase map updates for around $70, but they won't update them for free.

Also, the base model of the C330 does not have enough memory to store the entire 2008 Map Update. Unless you have more memory than it came with stock, you may have to choose which maps to include. For instance, in North America you have to choose between US and Canada - there's insufficient memory to hold both.
