[QUOTE="sapest, post: 1455092, member: 29340"] I took my 665 to Iceland in 2014. By then I was already loading NA maps to external storage. I bought the map set that included Iceland and loaded it on a separate micro SD card. If I recall, the only ‘trick’ is putting everything in a /garmin directory. Swapping SD cards with the 665 off takes moments. I cant say if the current products support multiple map sets, but I can say that very little of what Garmin tech support says is worthwhile. And I agree with RossKean, the Garmin POI file just grows and grows, with no effort to remove incorrect locations as time goes by. Does TomTom allow you to connect the GPS to a computer and view the file structure? If so, and you can find the POI file, rename it and try an update. If that doesnt work, you can restore the original file name with no harm done. (Assuming sufficient storage for 2 copies of the POI file. Good luck with your problem. My Infiniti Q60 suffers in a similar way. I can be parked in front of an address confirmed the nav system; if I drive 3 blocks away and search for the same address, the system cant find it. -Steve [/QUOTE]
