How can I tell if it loaded? I put the chip in but I want to make sure the info downloaded to my Nuvi

The maps do not download onto the Garmin Nuvi, but rather remain on the card. But test it by inputting a few destinations in Italy. If the device recognizes destinations / streets / cities, then you are good.

We have a nuvi 1350. On the left hand side is a slot for inserting the microSD card that contains the Nordics data. Just insert and turn on the garmin. There is no downloading required.

Thank you. Sounds good. Now I want to find it in combo with the NuMaps Lifetime. Nuvi combo have the NuMaps Lifetime for $50 extra, but I can't find this with a combo yet.----------------Garmin said the one with lifetime update for maps (3790LMT) would be out in September, keep checking their website. Said the cost was $499.99. I hate to spend that money, but am getting the voice activated one for safety reasons. Said it was shipped to Best Buy, but I can find it only in Canada...

I received just the small USB dongle chip which works great syncing my Garmin Forerunner GPS watch. I hope that helps, please let me know if you have further questions.

If you purchased the separate nabi box and plugged it in according to the digram then it should show up on the screen if not then you might have to drag and drop it from one of the top menu bars onto your main menu page

I have a life time map upgrade so my maps are current to the last update, 2014 I believe. Note that the memory limitation of 2 GB does not allow me to put the entire map data base in the unit at once. I need to segment it, but this is easy to do with Garmin's Express loader. Yes, my unit came new with the mount and charger. Good luck.

I have the Nuvi 255. It works just like the new one. The power cord plugs into cradle not GPS unit.Hope that helps

The instructions that I read stated I had to download the updates by a computer then insert the card into the GPS. I am not totally certain but if you have a camera that connects to your computer through a usb port, you may can insert the card into your camera, then use the camera as a drive. Computer will ask where do you want the download to go, point it to your camera with the new SD Garmin 4GB inside. I would contact garmin to insure this will work or on the safe side go out and pay $10 or so for a usb port that accepts card readers.

My boyfriend has a Garmin Venture HC that we had been using for geocaching. We both have macs and wanted to update the device so we could upload maps onto it. The firmware update for the software took over 20 minutes and never finished. Since then the device won't turn on at all. We have done every possible thing to make it work and nothing has made a difference. We are now looking at buying a new GPS. Hope this helps even though it really sucks because it was a great GPS device before.

You can call Garmin and have them talk you through it. The technicians are very thorough and patient. You can also get information when you register your unit.

Mike, I agree what Garmin said made no sense, but it is working today. So who knows what really happened. Where did you get those other updates for the traffic receiver?

Yes my chip has been activated. Took only seconds to set it up through the website. You can also activate it by calling the number on the card.

Look on the side and you will see the Memory chip. Just push it in and it will pop out so you can grab it and then you can plug that into your computer.

Just push the microSD card into the slot on your Garmin. Then update your Garmin. It will load data onto the SDcard if it doesn't have enough room in the regular memory.

It is a two gig mini SD chip, it works in my Lowrance GPS. Suggest you telephone Lowrance support before you purchase.
