Copying the file to another SD card or trying to install the file to a nuvi will result in a Can Not Unlock Map error and the map will not accessible to the nuvi. A Garmin-made Map-on-SD-card will only work when the map file is on the original Garmin-sold SD card.

Just be sure that you're buying a genuine Garmin-made SD card and map. Note that the nuvi 650 can not use the clone technique to install the entire North America map to the SD card as the map file size will exceed the nuvi 650's 2GB file size limit.įirst, let me say that rather than buying a new Europe on SD card map from Garmin or Amazon, you can probably find a used card available on eBay at a lower price. A check of your MapInfo page on the nuvi should show the current maps and should be checked.

If the SD card has previous map files (most likely gmapsupp.img), they will need to be manually deleted before starting the process as these older supplemental maps are not auto-erased when using MapInstall.ģ) With the nuvi and SD card, you should be able to have all of North America installed for use with the nuvi 650. This is not the default Install to Device Only option!Ģ) Now using MapInstall, install to a SD card the portions of North America that are not installed to the nuvi. If you used MapInstall before, your map file will be gmapsupp.img and will not be automatically deleted.īe sure to choose the option in Garmin Express to install the map to both the device and to the computer.

This automatic deletion will occur for the map installed with Garmin Express (the gmapprom.img file). Using Garmin Express, your current nuvi 650 North America map file will be automatically deleted to make room for the new (currently 2017.10) map file. You will receive a warning that all of North America will not fit and you'll need to choose a subset of North America:

The procedure for updating your 650 with all of North America that I think will work is to:ġ) Use Garmin Express to update the nuvi itself. The nuvi 650 has two issues that will complicate a Garmin City Navigator North America map update: 1) the nuvi itself doesn't have the storage capacity for all of North America and 2) the nuvi 650 (one of the nuvi 6xx series) can not read files larger than 2GB in size and the current map file for all of North America is larger than 2GB. If the nuvi 650 does not have a numaps map update purchased for it, any attempted update will fail.

Is this true? If I pay for and download the Garmin map of Europe, can I install it on a second computer and a second Nuvi? If so, how would I do e Base Camp?Ĭan we assume you purchased a numaps One-Time or Lifetime map update for the 650? Since you say you are using Garmin Express, I will assume your nuvi 650 has a purchased numaps update that you purchased for it since the nuvi 650 never came as a nuvi 650LM model with lifetime map updates included. The Garmin tech told me that the SD card version is 'protected' and cannot be copied to my computer and then installed on my other Nuvi, the 2797, whereas the downloaded version can be installed to another machine. My second question involves buying a GARMIN micro SD card preloaded with maps of Europe versus buying the download version (at significantly more cost). Why cannot I simply update the map that was included in the unit? I realize that it does not have enough memory to take the entire NA map, which is why I attempted to update only a few of the states. He said that I would have to use an SD card to update the North American maps. He said that the map that came in the unit is not designed to be updated. I was told by a Garmin tech that I cannot update the maps that were supplied in my Garmin Nuvi 650, an older unit that I love to use. So, my first question is how do you update the NA map in the Nuvi 650 if it will not override the existing, older map? Do I have to manually remove the 'img' file and start over? The Nuvi 650 has about 1.5 GB of total space and about 1.4 GB was being used by the existing maps. or attempt to override it with the updated version. In other words, Mapinstall did not remove the existing map in order to provide more memory. When I attempted to load/update only a few states in the USA, it told me that I did not have sufficient memory in the unit to do this.because my original NA map was still loaded in the device. First, I attempted to update the North America map that originally came in my Nuvi 650 (not in any SD card).
