The usual issue is that the Garmin is confused because there is more than one map on the Garmin. Remove that file make a copy of anything you are deleting before deletion as you may need it later. But, before I did that I deleted the old files before deleting I had saved a copy onto my computer.

MapSource can be used from a computer to be able to configure and decide the itinerary which will be followed during a trip before leaving our house, something which will make it much easier to move between designated places once on board our vehicle.

The only problem with this software and the associated devices is that as time goes by the maps no longer correspond with the reality due to different changes, like a road changing direction or being closed due to road works or new installations, making it more difficult to drive around. But this can be solved thanks to installing the updates to MapSource , which introduce all the new maps on the computer, allowing you to send them to the device afterwards.

This is only an update if you already have MapSource installed. It will not work unless you already have it. I find it very hard to find a 'Pro' for what is only a file update of the original Mapsource. It seems to me that Garmin goes to some extra effort to make using their Apps difficult to sort out and use. If you don't already have Mapsource installed it it just a useless waste of time. It is an update to the original version. I was looking for an App to be installed on my new computer and continue what I started in my old XP.

The original version was very hard to use and not user friendly at all. It is a shame because the car version of Garmin Nuvi is a pleasure to use in my car and motor home. This is NOT the Mapsource program. It is totally useless and a waste of time unless you already have a previous version of the Mapsource program.

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.

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. Then in the Nuvi menu you have to go to Maps and deselect the old one and select the new map. Posted December 4, edited. Posted December 6, Posted December 7, edited.
