There was a great thread late winter and spring on doing more with your GPS:
I got relatively handy (adequate) with MS Streets & trips and Garmin MapSource over the winter. I needed to program my new to me Zumo 550 with daily maps for my June, Montreal Canada --> Blue Ridge, Dragon Tail, Cherohala Skyway and return trip. I struggled but go it done with help from a buddy and forum member from Cinci.
But I have more questions and needs:
Any other guidance is also mucho appreciated!

- Using the memory card to hold your maps;
- updating / swapping from North American to European maps etc etc
I got relatively handy (adequate) with MS Streets & trips and Garmin MapSource over the winter. I needed to program my new to me Zumo 550 with daily maps for my June, Montreal Canada --> Blue Ridge, Dragon Tail, Cherohala Skyway and return trip. I struggled but go it done with help from a buddy and forum member from Cinci.
But I have more questions and needs:
- I do not know how to maintain bigger maps on the memory card. The ZUMO 550, since my last update, can only hold Eastern & Central US and Canada, or Western & Central US and Canada. I will need both for my cross US / Canada trip probably in 2014.
- I also would like to how to import into any Garmin a list of addresses / destination or, potentially, Points of Interest (POI) instead. Seems to me there should be functionality in MapSource to do that, but I have not found it.
- Furthermore, I own a Garmin 1370 (or is it 1390) for car use. It has no external memory card. I will be going to Italy in September, driving some of the time, and will definitely need that GPS! So I need to be able to go from one map (NA to European) and back at will, and load in a bunch of addresses.
Any other guidance is also mucho appreciated!
