Zumo 660 system files wanted.

[tiggertree]

Hi .
I have managed to format my 660 internal drive.
I have managed to get it booting again but without the maps.
Garmin express will not recognise the Zumo so i cannot update the maps.
as an experiment I copied the system files from a Nuvi 550 to the zumo. garmin express then recognised it as a nuvi 550.
There was an old thread on here to fix this problem but now the links do not work.
Any one know where I can get the system files I need?
Cheers.
Paul.

I have and use a Zumo 660, if I know which files you need I could send a copy.

Thank you.
I am not sure which files I need.
I will look in to it further.
Cheers.
Paul.

Hallo Tigger,
ich denke ich habe so ein ähnliches Problem.
Ich habe versehentlich das interne Laufwerk formatiert, nun wird das Zumo am USB Port nicht mehr erkannt
und somit im Garmin Express nicht angezeigt.
Ich kann das Zumo starten und Einstellungen ändern, aber keine Updates mehr durchführen.

War das bei dir auch so?
Vielleicht kannst du mir weiterhelfen.

Vorab vielen Dank,

Gruß,
Alph

Hello Tigger,
I think I have a similar problem.
I accidentally formatted the internal drive and now the Zumo is no longer recognized on the USB port
and therefore not displayed in Garmin Express.
I can start Zumo and change settings, but I can no longer perform updates.

Was that the same for you?
Maybe you can help me.

Thank you in advance,

Greeting,
Alph

Welcome Alph.

We are all English speaking on the forum, so a little prudent use of Google translate is appreciated - if you are wanting some help.
I've added the English translation to your post above.

I also have a 660 Zumo with program problems. Having checked the capacity of the memory I updated the 660 with a map of Germany, which was the last release from Garmin. It appears that the file was bigger than stated on the website. The update proceed to load the new map but deleted some of the system files in the process. The 660 now only shows major routes and no detailed information of streets, so it appears that I have lost part of City Navigator. I have the original DVD with this program but the Zumo demands a 16 digit key, which I do not have. Can anyone help with my problem or sell me a 16 digit key or DVD with the key so I can reload City Navigator?

Hi I have also accidentally deleted my system files on a 660 LM. I have tried to find a solution including Garmin. They just said Sorry. If anyone can help or supply the files I would appreciate it or any suggestions before I have to replace it. Regards Thomas

Garmin are not helpful on this, but I guess my Zumo must be 15 years old so it's not too surprising. I've also got all the cables and special mounts for my Zumo, most of which are now destined for the bin.

Yes I guess you cant expect them to help when they have tons of newer models to sell. I thought possibly someone here or someplace figured this out as I`ve seen others make a perfectly working unit into a brick by accident.Maybe there was a solution years ago available.. It should not be hard to copy or clone the system files and put them back. Anyway ,I`ll probably start looking for a replacement although I rarely use the GPS. Cheers!
