The downloading of torrent illegal Garmin maps might result in a virus and often the map itself doesn't work. If you go to the OSM site you see some possibilities, the easy one is the gmapsupp selection, you can download this file and.
Please don't make baseless statements such as this. There are a bunch of perfectly legal, legitimate maps that are distributed as. Yes there are some pirated maps out there, but just the fact that it uses. The files at openmapchest. These are legal and compiled from Open Street Map data.
It's an easier way to get the entire US at once than going to garmin. You can just get a new map from OSM. Move the old map to your computer and copy the new one to the Nuvi.
Reverse when you return. You could do a route map for the trip. I use the OSMs on my Oregon. It reverts to the base map when you leave the detail area. I think that's what the Nuvi does but I'm not positive. Whew, I was a little scared there that I had broken the law by downloading that. Relieved to see that's not the case! About the last two replies fishgeek and sussamb : That makes perfect sense to me, moving maps on and off the Nuvi.
Kind of like filling a flash drive with files to take someplace else, and then deleting them when you get home and don't need them on there anymore. It says it works on the Nuvi and has lots of good reviews. I think that's the way I'm going to go. Thanks again to everyone for all the help. Happy caching!!! Since the OP seems to start from scratch and was struggling with a torrent that needed another script to open that file it. Hey, no worries, it's all good! That's cool of you to write back and clarify.
I have 4 Nuvi's set up like that. You said you only wanted updated maps. But please consider, the Nuvi is a 3. Unless you can find a way to get free maps, I would seriously be thinking about getting something else. You may still be able to find a similar bargain as we get closer to X-mas. Also, check out Ebay and Amazon as they sometimes offer refurbs that will meet your needs.
All the best whatever you decide. If we drive past a cache that we have loaded, it will show up as a symbol depending on the type of cache on the map. We can also touch the "geocache" button and see how far away and in which direction the nearest caches are, relative to our current location. Then we touch the name of a given cache to get all the details so we can go after it.
If there are newer and reasonably priced GPSers on the market that have that geocaching feature, we're interested. Otherwise, we want to stick with what we have.
I really enjoy caching in and around Canton. I think the Nuvi 5xx model is the only nuvi that was a true "crossover" The only Garmin unit that can compare now is the Montana or Monterra But with the added cost of maps and the cradle they are very expensive. So the 5xx nuvi is unique and useful in its own right. SInce you are happy with it, IMO it is worth the investment for a map upgrade. I agree You can post now and register later.

Posted December 3, Wow, lots of helpful replies in a short time. And it looks like openmapchest is not feasible unless we have an SD card, correct? And I am wondering what a basecamp is. I think I'm getting pretty close to having this thing figured out.
You folks are awesome! Posted December 3, edited. Edited December 3, by alandb. Posted December 4, About making the Nuvi unusable; Most of the times the map is called gmapsupp.
Overwriting the original data will destroy that data. If you go to the OSM site you see some possibilities, the easy one is the gmapsupp selection, you can download this file and put it on an SD card your Nuvi won't have the needed free space in the Garmin folder, that folder you need to make yourself.
He needed his map to be in French. I was able to go back and move over the language files onto his Garmin from the folder I had taken off. I got help doing this from a YouTube video after searching for adding languages to a Garmin.
