Decided to keep the Zumo 400 to go with the GS. I downloaded the updated europe maps & it comes with the updater type thing that runs slow as a dog. When i update it, only one map seems to go up at a time, like Germany & if i then upload France, it replaces Germany. How do I upload all of the europe maps at once? Someone on a the garmin group said to do a .img file, how do i do that when i can only access the maps by the shtpile uploader? -- Nige, 'That's not my name' Range Rover Td6 Vogue BMW K1200S BMW F800GS (coming soon) Suzuki GSX-R1000 K3 Focus ST3

But, the website has no mention of this? -- Nige, 'That's not my name' Range Rover Td6 Vogue BMW K1200S Suzuki GSX-R1000 K3 Focus ST3
I've had a quick look at the Garmin Zumo site. I'm not familiar with it as I have the older 2610. It appears that the Zumo has a fairly small integral memory which can store one region at a time. Additional maps can be loaded to an SD card. This is where Mapsource is useful. You should have it on a DVD or you can download it from the Garmin website. You'll need an unlock code which should've come with the Zumo. http://www8.garmin.com/manuals/zumo450_OwnersManual.pdf page 40 On my 2610 I simply click to highlight the maps I want and then upload them via a USB card reader to a data card. On the 2610 a 2GB CF card can hold virtually all of Europe. there's probably an idiot's guide to a Zumo on UKGSer. I may regret this, but sign up for an account at http://www.ukgser.com/forums/
Mapsource software is very good now., and IIRC you can select the map or part of a map to upload. Remember though, yours is the 400 and has a lot of limitations on memory/maps. Mines the 550 and has all the places in it I've wanted to go since I've had it. Might be worth jamming a memory card in and seeing if you can loads maps to that. You might have to switch maps though as I'm not sure the capabilities of the 400. -- Greybeard FLHR -03 UK (95 cu-in Stg 2. Big Boy 2!) Garmin Zumo 550, To get me home! ukrm@foxtails[dot]co[dot]uk
or buy the Zumo that has the functionality you need rather than the cheapo version aimed at couriers and xenophobes

You can have mine, all update and running as sweet as a sweet thing on honey.... for £395 ;o) plenty cheap, good bargain! ;o) TBH buy the 550. it's worth every penny and it does, what it says on the tin and does it well! -- Greybeard FLHR -03 UK (95 cu-in Stg 2.

I've been Gazumped again ;o) Right decision. I've had mine since they first came out in the UK. Load the Mapsource program, go to the Garmin page and make sure it's updated to the latest version. _Big_ improvement over earlier versions. You can then easily create routes and waypoints then stuff them onto the Zumo. Map changes automatically when turned on in different countries. Good luck. -- Greybeard FLHR -03 UK (95 cu-in Stg 2.
