Title: Sat Nav's
Post by: Spud on July 21, 2014, 09:49:08 AM
I am booked on the ferry from Poole to Santander 23rd of August I'm spending 2 weeks in the Pyrenees on my DR 350 before heading north to the channel ports. I am looking to use my Garmin Vista handheld to navigate which does a good job at DR speeds.

The question is does anyone know if I buy a new micro SD card map of Europe for the Vista can that card then be used in my Zumo 660 to update my mapping on that, or in other words will the Zumo accept the micro SD card

cheers Spud  :thumbsup

Don't know, but a micro sd card is what's in my Garmin Nuvi

Garmin are really funny with locking their maps and compatibility between devices, I'd suggest downloading a free map to an SD card might be a cheaper option. Pity I didn't know you were going to do this or I could have passed you an EU SD card to try or a spare 660 mount at least.

Thanks Lads, the Etrex is battery operated so no worries about it being charged and I use it for walking as well, on road they work quite well at lower speeds. I will be camping in the mountains and on route back north so I'm not sure about being able to charge things.

I will have a look at the free down load options and get a paper map

cheers Spud  :thumbsup
