Re: 660 issue while updating - SD card related

New 32 Gig card arrived. Detected with no problem. Very strange. I have been in the computer industry since 1997, and this is the first time I have had an SD card fail in this fashion.

Oh well, there is always a first. Now I have room for more music. (Silver lining!)

Re: 660 issue while updating - SD card related

I hate to "give in" and let hardware "get the best of me" so I tried all day to format that stupid SD card. No matter what I tried, it always came back to having "1.46 GB free of 7.34 GB." It's as if it is write protected. I even tried to format it as NTFS which suppose...

Re: 660 issue while updating - SD card related

Yes, there seems to be a problem with it. I'll just order a replacement. They are only about $10 US. Pete, Did the low-level format fail? I have a 660 with a 16Gb micro-SD. That has been plenty of room for music and maps. However, the Garmin site does show that a 32Gb will work in the 660 and at th...

Re: 660 issue while updating - SD card related

Formatting may work, certainly can't hurt. But for the price I'd consider just buying a new card, maybe a 16gb this time. Don't know about the 660 but my 595 required no computer formatting prior to use, the Zumo took care of it when first inserted. Yes, there seems to be a problem with it. I'll ju...

Re: 660 issue while updating - SD card related

Here is some additional info (as I wait for the format to complete): I put the SD card into my old Nuvi 1490 and that was just fine with it. It was detected by my pc, detected by Garmin Express and facilitated the transfer of files to my PC and access to the card by Windows 10 Disk Management. I'm h...

Hello, I was searching online for a solution to my particular problem and this forum was recommended. I was updating my Zumo 660 map normally (I have done this many times before) when it failed mid-update. The update was going on my 8 GB SD card. At around 62% it popped up a message that the downloa...

Greetings

Hello,

I've had my Zumo 660 for a while and suddenly have an issue with it. This forum was recommended, so here I am. I figured it would be unsociable to post a request for assistance without introducing myself first, so here I am. Pleased to make your acquaintance! :D
