![]() ![]() Let Garmin Map Updater download and save the maps. At the screen that says "Ready to update your maps", select "Install Options" and select "Install Map to Device and Computer."Ĥ. I would recommend downloading the maps to the hard drive while you update your 260W, as shown in the outline below.ġ. However, I made an assumption error in my original how-to, because it doesn't explain that in order for the MapInstall process to work, the maps need to be on the computer's hard drive. You can run the Garmin Map Updater program again to get the maps you need. When the 260W is done loading, go to Wrench > Settings> Map > Map Info and uncheck the old map so the nüvi only uses the new map. It will find the maps on both internal and external memory. Once the map is installed on the SD card, disconnect and run the 260W. MapInstall has a drop-down box that allows you to select the 260W SD card slot. You can't use the automated installer for this.Īssuming you are attempting to install 2012.20, you will run MapInstall and install the full map onto the SD card. If it isn't, that means MapSource is also likely not present so you'll need to download Garmin BaseCamp, which includes MapInstall in the installation. But to do so requires MapInstall, which should be already installed on your computer. ![]() To load the map onto the SD card, get a 2GB or 4GB SD card and place it into the nüvi's SD card slot, because you can in fact install the complete map onto the SD card. Some units refuse to function if they fail to find a map in internal memory. If you need to install the map onto a SD card, you can, but move one of the old maps back onto the internal memory. Move both maps off the nüvi, run the map installer and you should fix the problem you're having. By default, the map installer names the update map gmapsupp.img. The reason you have two maps on the internal memory is that one of them is named gmapprom.img while the other is named gmapsupp.img. HOW? I know enough about computers to be very dangerous! Can I download a new update map and put it completely on my SD card (2 gig) get rid of the existing maps on the unit to free up space and reload some voices and vehicles etc. Why didn't the update replace the old map or simply update the one that was there? Can I and should I delete the 2011.40 off the unit? If so How? Sorry soo long winded but here's the important question. Some on the unit and some on the SD card. ![]() ![]() This kinna tells me I have TWO maps installed on the unit. and also CN North America NT 2011.40 with a lower 49 states NE. By checking out map info on the unit, I found two maps and both were checked.ĬN North America NT 2012.10 with a and a few states. Still not enough memory, However.I just realized that when entering an address it would always give me two or show it twice (if you will). Deleted all voice files except English American Jill, English Aust Karen and English British Emily.these are all. gtt Deleted all help files except American english. I aso have issues with the 260W "not enough memory for the update" I've deleted everything in text except British english.gtt and and French. Folks: I know by reading lots of threads that this has been beaten to eys are burning out try to find answers to specific questions. ![]()
