How to load Garmap 2007 maps
Please share this with your friends
OK, Here’s the first in a new series of training videos that I am going to be doing. This one is a step-by-step tutorial on “How to load Garmap maps to your PC… and to your Garmin GPS unit“. I hope you find it useful. This is my first attempt at making videos so please be gentle with the criticism.
If you are on a slow Internet connection you should pause the video as soon as it begins playing, and wait until it has fully buffered and loaded. You can also click here to open it in a new window.
So, What do you think? Please leave a comment and let me know.

HI
The video was very informative. What i would like to know is can the maps from the SD card be loaded direct to my Nuvi 200 ?

Hi, the short answer is… No. You need the DVD to load the maps first to your PC and then to your Nuvi unit. You must have been one of the lucky ones who purchased the Nuvi 200 when they still came with the maps preloaded on a SD memory card
The Nuvi 200 units are now sold with the maps preloaded to the internal memory (no SD card in the box).
You will be converting from a “Plug-and-Play” user to a “MapSource” (PC) user when the map updates are released on DVD again anyway (this is the only manner in which map updates are released).
Good day
The video is very useful. Is the text available?
Thanks

Hi Héleen
Thank you
I will try and put the text version up on the blog sometime early in the New Year.
As a late comer I found the video very informative. I purchased my Nuvi 200 in the USA where I used it extensively. Now back in the RSA I have a better knwoledge of my own country and plan my own routes on the PC using mapsource. How do I get the Nuvi to see the routes I downloaded to my memory card? The program downloads it, that I can see and I can see the files on the memory card. The device, however, does not see it. Can yo help?
Thank you and kind regards

Hi Pieter
Unfortunately, your Nuvi 200 can not handle the storage, uploading and downloading of routes (these units can only upload and download waypoints). The only available units with this capability at this stage are the Nuvi 7xx series units.
What you can do is to create the route in MapSource on your PC and then only upload the waypoints, that make up that route, to your unit. Once the waypoints are on your unit, you can then recreate the route using the waypoints.
