Hi guys, Am hoping to do a Hokkaido "drive-eat-drive-eat" trip very soon but I can't figure out where to get NUVI maps in English covering Hokkaido. I know Japanese GPS sets provided by car rentals/travel companies have Japanese language maps loaded; been told that English maps are not ava...

Re: Any nuvi 660 user here?

Much obliged, colalite. I'll give it a try.

===================

- Deleted all mapsets on 660 and reloaded fresh maps;
- Updated firmware to v.4.90

Tested for two trips so far; so far so good .... :-$
Very, very promising ...

Thanks again, colalite .!

Re: Understand the files and folders within your Nuvi

Appreciate clarification on:
I understand, Nuvi internal memory can contain gmapprom.img, gmapprom1.img as well as gmapsupp.img. In this setup, is a gmapsupp1.img ( like gmapprom1.img) permitted in same Nuvi?

Hoping to just use only one SD card and then only for my Audiobooks ....

:tq:

REMOVE the SD card before you switch ON your Nuvi. Thanks ALL! :peace: AND there I was ALL the time doing EXACTLY ...
