    Default Mulitple Maps on Nuvi660

    Is it possible?
    named maps as follows
    2010 NT as GMAPPROM.img
    Bluechart as GMAPSUPP.img
    Traks4Aust as GMAPSUP2.img
    OzTopo2.1 as GMAPSUP3.img


    only shows the NT and Bluechart maps or
    what ever map I name GMAPSUPP.img shows(so I can view Oztopo and T4A as long as they are named GMAPSUPP.img)


    So it will only show anything named GMAPPROM.img and GMAPSUPP.img
    and won't show the numbered maps


    Anyone have any idea?

    Well I got around it by creating one HUGE mapset in mapsource combining all the mapsets
    about 2gb in size
    still would have rather had 3 separate map files

    you need an sd card for the 660
    and its

    the nuvi
    2010 NT as GMAPPROM.img
    Bluechart as GMAPSUPP.img

    and you will have to combine these 2 for the sd card
    Folder = GARMIN\?.IMG
    Traks4Aust as GMAPSUPP.img
    OzTopo2.1 as GMAPSUPP.img

    or better still get rid of bluechart its useless on a 660 anyway

    Yeah using an SD card
    the NT map is gmapprom.img
    the other combined map is on the SD card and called gmapsupp.img

    And the 2010 bluechart works fine on the 660 since it will work without routable maps
    even better on my 260 in 3D

    yeah thats what i said

    but your blind if you think bluechart on a 660 works fine lol
    it does work kind of and yes i know i have a 660 and been there done that
    but the detail is ordinary compared to say a 276c which is designed for marine and automotive use
    the 660 don't show 100% the detailed map on water its limited detail

    anyway where is my deep cycle batteries you can get lol
    and if you want any solar panels kevy i can get
    80 watt bp panels under $250 each there been in service only for one year then removed
    there tested and tagged and they still have warranty left on em as these panels retail for $700+ new

    BLA BLA, of course it won't work as good as a unit designed for it, and it doesn't seem to accept BC waypoints or tracks from a non Nuvi unit, but will keep POIs made on the Nuvi
    But for a basic Marine GPS it works great, saves spending $500+ on a proper Marine GPS if you're a tight arsed Gemini owner

    Call me on these last two issues
    Parents may be interested in the panels since they are using Solar & Generator

    Batteries I'm working on, gotta get some for the parents also

    UMMM
    plug it into your computer and delete them
    You did back up your original map didn't you, so you can reload..... No??

    check out the other posts on downloading the latest map
    Oh and rename is GMAPPROM.IMG
    that way it won't be overwritten if you load other maps from Mapsource
