Just today I had my 550 connected for map updates and the last map I could access and activate was 2023.1 which I was able to do. Download to PC, and then use map installer to put it on SD card. Worked fine with no issues. After 2023.1 it's my impression that the map data FORMAT(not size) is beyond...

I'm getting this message when using Express while attempting to install NT 2025.1 to my Zumo 550. And, I just now tried using Mapinstall and received the same results. The most recent option I was given was NT 2024.1. I have NT 2024.2 and NT 2025.1 installed on both my PC and on my Zumo XT.

So, my original question was, Michael, what's your secret to load CN NA 2025.1 to your Zumo 550. The latest maps Garmin allows me to load to my 550 is 2024.1. My understanding is the Zumo 550 will no longer be supported with new maps. Am I wrong about that? Thanks, FRW When I plug my Zumo 550 into m...

So, my original question was, when I plug my Zumo 550 into my PC and attempt to load new maps it will allow me to reload CN NA 24.10, but doesn't give me any more options. When I searched Garmin's website I found this:

I just updated my computer and devices with the new CN NA 2025.10 maps. A Nuvi 54, Zumo 590, Z 396 and Z 550, all with lifetime maps. All updated with no issues. The 54LM and the 590 both have SD cards installed to increase available storage, so there was no issue with map size. The 396 still has e...

Thanks lkraus. I was hoping I could make the GPS give me a better ETA. I lead group rides and when I make a reservation at a restaurant I do my best to be there a few minutes prior to my reservation. If I could make the GPS give a more accurate ETA it would be easier to arrive when I want. I guess ...

Thanks Russ. This is what I have tried and it only seems to result in making a difference in the amount of time Basecamp projects it will take to ride the route. When the route is loaded to either the Zumo 550 or the XT it isn't making any change to the ETA on the GPS. Any other ideas would be appr...

I have spent several hours attempting to figure out how to make the ETA on my Zumo 550 and/or my Zumo XT to be a little closer to real world ETA. I know there is a way in Basecamp to adjust average speed on different roads and any adjustment there is reflected in the software. However, when the rou...

Red Wing. You should not have to load the maps to your 550 from the Garmin server. I do just about the same process as you described. But I did not see one thing that I have writtten down... Copy file GarminDevice.xml to the Garmin folder on the SD card. Remove any maps from the SD card. I then use...

Great news. I was able to get the most recent maps loaded to my Zumo 550 with email help from mother Garmin. Here are the details leading up to the problem: 1. I own a Zumo 550 and a Zumo XT. 2. The maps on my pc were loaded with the Zumo XT attached. 3. I was trying to use MapInstall to load the ne...
