Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Garmin nüMaps Lifetime North America Map Updates

Customer Review: Great Product, but Better Instructions Needed
Summary: 4 Stars

I encountered a few problems when updating the Gramin North America 2010 map to my older Garmin Street Pilot C530. I would anticipate similar problems with other Street Pilot models. Below are a few recommendations.

1. Make sure your GPS is registered and you have setup a user account on the Garmin website.
2. After you log into the Garmin website, click "Dashboard" and make sure your GPS has the most current software (Firmware) installed. Your GPS should be connected to your computer. My firmware was not current and I received an error message during later steps when the map update software established communication with the GPS. After an hour of searching, I discovered this was the problem.
3. On the Garmin website, look for a link to activate your gift card. Follow the activation instructions. The map update will download to your computer and the file size on your hard drive will be at least 2GB.
4. After the download, the map installation process will launch and begin copying the files to your GPS.
5. The 2010 Garmin North America Update requires 1.22 GB of memory on the GPS. However, the internal memory on older Garmin models including my Street Pilot C530 is only about 1GB. Therefore the installation software will ask you to choose one region of North America to install. These regions are all subsets of the full North America map, and are all small enough to fit on the internal memory. When you pull down the names in the drop-down menu, you can then click on each name to see the regions covered. The names, unfortunately, are not descriptive enough, so you should definitely click on each to see the map for each region. Once you have selected a region to install, just work through the steps and the region you have chosen will be installed on the internal memory of the GPS. As part of this process, it will erase your previously installed map version.
6. I purchased a Transcend SDHC 4GB card (Transcend 4 GB Class 6 SDHC Flash Memory Card TS4GSDHC6E) for the GPS to increase the memory so I could install the complete update. I learned that even if the SD card was inserted into my Street Pilot, the installation software still said that I only had enough memory for one region. You should select one region (for me it was the eastern U.S.) and proceed to the following steps. If you want to install the complete North America map, you will need to first purchase an SD card. Although I read that other Street Pilot models will not recognize SD cards greater than 2GB and/or high-capacity (SDHC) cards, my Street Pilot C530 recognized the card I bought from Amazon (Transcend SDHC 4GB). To install the other map regions on the SD card, I have pasted the instructions from other internet posts below.
7. According to Garmin, the download will also install on you computer some programs including MapInstall and MapSource. In Windows XP, the programs should end up in a Garmin folder in Start, then All Programs. You will need MapInstall for the next steps.
8. The next step is to use MapInstall to install the maps onto your SD card in the GPS. MapInstall will only install maps onto the SD card, not to the internal memory. With a 2GB SD card, you can install the full 2010 update onto the SD card since the full update is 1.22 GB. So, even though you need to select a subset of the maps for installation on the internal memory, there's no need to worry about which subset you put in internal memory and which you'll put on the card, because you will actually install the full set of maps in the 2010 update to your memory card if you have at least a 2GB SD card.
9. Here are the instructions for installing onto the SD card:
a. Place the SD card into the SD card slot in your GPS.
b. Connect your GPS to your computer and turn on
c. Double-click on the MapInstall icon on your desktop or in the Garmin folder in All Programs (click the "start button, then "All programs").
d. Click Next to select the GPS you want to load the maps to (Select the SD card which should be installed in the GPS).
e. Click on the region(s) you would like to load to your device (Note - if you have a 2GB card, select all regions, they'll all fit). Selecting all the regions can be a little time consuming. Make sure not to miss any cities. I wish Garmin added a feature to "select all".
f. Click Next.
g. Click on Finish to build the map set that will be sent to your device.
After the transfer completes, you will be ready to use your device. Please note: The SD card must remain in your device in order to view the additional mapping you have loaded to it.

Good luck. I found other trouble shooting suggestions at [...]

Note:
A nüMaps Lifetime subscription entitles you to receive up to four (4) map data updates per year, when and as such updates are made available on Garmin?s website, for one (1) compatible Garmin product until your product?s useful life expires or Garmin no longer receives map data from its third party supplier, whichever is shorter. Your nüMaps Lifetime subscription may not be transferred to another person or another Garmin product. A nüMaps Onetime purchase entitles you to receive one (1) map data update for one (1) compatible Garmin product. The update(s) you receive under the nüMaps Lifetime subscription or nüMaps Onetime purchase (as applicable) will be update(s) to the same geographic map data originally included with your Garmin product when originally purchased. In some instances, your Garmin product might not have sufficient memory remaining for you to load an update to the same map data originally included with your Garmin product, in which case you will need to either (a) select reduced map data coverage for your update(s), or (b) purchase separately a microSD card or a SD card (as applicable to your Garmin product) and load all or a portion of the map data coverage for your update(s) to the card and insert the card into the SD card or microSD card slot contained in your Garmin product.
