[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1396458, member: 3828"] I wrote up a tutorial on loading the full map set on a zumo 450/550 about 10 years ago and posted it on this forum. That also works on the zumo 66x series. To me, that is a non issue. Since you know it wont fit, just load the full map set to your PC and then transfer the full map set to your SD card. I make copies of the SD cards, but in using this method over the last decade Ive never had a card corrupt. Heres the link to my prior post: [URL="https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/144834-garmin-zumo-550-memory-limitations/?do=findComment&comment=953018"]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/144834-garmin-zumo-550-memory-limitations/?do=findComment&comment=953018[/URL] The last garmin gps with good daylight visible screen was the zumo 450/550, which is why I still run a 550. They still havent made anything better. I ride for weeks at a time with highly limited cell service. The state of Vermont doesnt believe in erecting cell towers. A cell phone is not an answer for me.
