I have a Nuvi 650 that has the North America map loaded on the GPS and one other map loaded on the SD card. How do I load another gmapsupp.img map on the SD if I'm using a mac??

Most of (all) Garmin nuvi devices do not accept second map file on SD card, so only two solutions:

1. Transfer both maps in one file from PC (MapSource/MapInstall) or Mac (RoadTrip/MapInlstall), or
2. Join maps in one file with Gmaptool ([Only registered and activated users can see links. ]) on PC system and copy to SD card

Yesterday I bougt Garmin Edge 705 and i was wondering ,should I buy
-SANDISK SECURE DIGITAL SDHC 4GB EXTREME III
-SANDISK SECURE DIGITAL SDHC 8GB EXTREME III

So would be buying 8GB SD a waist of money because of the limitations(4GB) with filesystem(FAT32) or not? And one more thing anybody here tried 16GB SDHC or more (because in the firmware version 2.9 it says supported 4GB, 8GB, etc.- that means no limit.) But if I buy 8GB SD is it possible to have simultaneously more maps installed on garmin.
THANKS

Hi tico_x00,

Post moved in appropriate thread

As your device is trainer-navigator, I hope you will not walk (run) or ride your bicycle so far away that you will need maps that will not fit on 4 GB.
Yes, you can put multiple maps on SD card of any Garmin device, but best way is not to put them as multiple files, but combined with MapSorce and transferred as one file to device (SD card), because many devices (not all) supports multiple files on device but only one file per SD card. I'm not familiar with your device, so I'm not sure.
As I can see, you're from Slovenia. Complete CN Europe + complete Adria Route 3.00 is about 2 GB, complete Adria Topo 2.2x is 395 MB, you can add to this Austria topo and some other countries topo maps and you will not exceed 4 GB.
I don't see any reason why you would need SD card larger than 4 GB.

Trying to set a 112 km long route. Occasionally getting the above error message. Experienced this problem first time only yesterday. The problem goes away after driving for some minutes – e.g. 5-15 minutes. Then SAME route is navigable.
My device is a Nuvi 760 with latest firmware. Any expert ideas? Thanks!

Maybe your starting position was not on (or near by) routable road.

Hi, I bought Garmin 255w from Canada and used it there for a week. Now I am back in Thailand and would like to find and use Thailand map on the Garmin. Where do I find the map and how to install and use the map. Help. Thank you in advance.
