Thanks for all the feedback. I really appreciate the comments and the supporting information.
Oh, one thing I failed to mention is that I use or still use GPX files for routing. As long as the GPS can accept those type files it's a possible solution/choice.

Which GPS To Buy Now
I was sitting here, it's Christmas time, and thinking it might be time to consider a new GPS for my motorcycles and Autos. I currently have a Garmin 550 that works fine but I have not uploaded the new maps to the device because the newer maps do not display the full road name (shifted to upper and l...

Re: Garmin withdraw map updates for older devices
While it is not specially germane to the issue in the "Subject" each time I have connected by 665 to my computer (MaxBook Air and an iMac) and the map update was not allowed and I then tried to remove the device's connection (in the Mac you drag the icon for the "drive" to the &q...

Re: Garmin withdraw map updates for older devices
What we are asking is to try mapinstall instead of garmin express to try to install maps on 665. Open basecamp. on top go to maps tab, then scroll down to install maps. when connected, Zumo 665 should appear. then try to install. Ok... I tried the above. I did find that the maps 2024.2 are installe...

Re: Garmin withdraw map updates for older devices
Wondering... If you use the 660 to install the new maps on your computer for Basecamp, can you then use Maps>MapInstall (or the Mac equivalent) to transfer them to the 665? I asked this very question on one of these threads and was told no? Would be good for someone to try so can confirm. I can onl...

Re: Garmin withdraw map updates for older devices
Regarding Open Street Maps, is there a list of issues, processes or methods to be used when upgrading a Garmin device. And I see it is out of the UK. Are any of our UK members here involved? This is the link I found. https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=4/38.01/-95.84 I did join and logged in but........

Re: Garmin withdraw map updates for older devices
I tired to update my maps today on my Garmin 665LM (it has the additional memory from The Palm Dr) and I was denied. I updated the maps this past week on my 660 and it worked ok. Did my wife's Garmin Nuvi 1370 yesterday as well. No issues. Really a bad move by Garmin Oh, so I checked the "notes...

Re: Removing Old Maps From 660
Thanks for the information. I don't use Basecamp but do have it only machine. I will see what I can do. I like renaming the files first. Good point.

Re: End of life, no more map updates for 660/665?
I will update my 665 in a couple of days after I get the 660 maps up and verified. Well report back. Updated to add. and yes Garmin Express says the updates are available fro my 665 and my 550. The only reason I don't update the 550 is that they made the street names upper and lower case and it appe...

Removing Old Maps From 660
When I updated my maps on my 660 today, I added them to the SD card. There is not much space there and it shows that I still have the 2024.10 maps installed on the card. Is there an easy way to remove them? If not, one thought would be to just replace the SD card with a new one and then upload the n...
