Garmin Nuvi 250w

[jrnot...@gmail.com]

Will the maps for sale on this page work with the Garmin Nuvi 250w? It does have an SD slot, but I don't know if it will do custom routes or waypoints...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks

Yes, all Nuvi will work great!

Thank you so much for the speedy reply! This is great news. Are there instructions or is it pretty much plug and play? My Nuvi 250w currently has a 8gb SD card that I am updating, but I'm assuming the TAT card has basic North American Map as well?

Hi Kevin

I have a Nuvi 250W and a Nuvi 770. I can't get either one to show the tracks. I was loading everything in via Basecamp. Should I just be dumping it to an SD?

Thanks!

That is what I did. I just copied the files into the folder on the garmin. Worked like a charm.

Nuvi's work fine , you want to run the Maps not the Tracks, the maps are mush more accurate and better.  See the FAQ:  

Q: What are Tracks and why are they not recommended?

A: Tracks (or sometimes called Tracklogs) are a collection of electronic breadcrumbs that can describe the desired path.  There can be thousands of these electronic data points to describe one path. Each ride can be made up of many sets of these paths.  As a result, the number of Tracklogs for a ride with several choices can become very confusing.  Therefore I do not recommend that riders use tracks as it can often create confusion.  Tracklogs are often included on the MicroSD card for those riders that would like to import them to a PC and edit them to create their own ride.

Q: What are Custom GPS Ride Maps?

A: Custom GPS Ride maps are electronic maps designed specifically to show the paths and path choices for a particular ride.  The maps show the paths as clear bold lines so the riders can easily see them even on small screens.  The lines are often comprised of groups of arrows or chevrons so that riders can easily tell the recommended direction of travel.  The lines come in multiple colors so that riders can easily choose between Hard and Easy options. Custom ride maps make ride navigation much easier than ever before.

I would like to report that the maps work fine on both the Nuvis I have (250W and 770). I downloaded the maps initially but made the mistake of trying to install with Garvin Basecamp software. I should have followed GPSKevin's instructions exactly and extracted to an SD card. When I purchased the card from Kevin and plugged into GPS, it worked perfectly.

It seems I did not need to purchase the card after all but pleased to be supporting Kevin's services.

Throwing this out there to see if anyone’s ridden this track in the last year or so and if so, report on the condition? I’m thinking of throwing this track on a route I have from N. Georgia to Maine that we’ll be riding in a few weeks.
