We can also touch the "geocache" button and see how far away and in which direction the nearest caches are, relative to our current location. If we drive past a cache that we have loaded, it will show up as a symbol (depending on the type of cache) on the map. The Nuvi 500 is one of the very few GPSers that I know of that permits the user to directly load cache locations and info from GSAK. Also, check out Ebay and Amazon as they sometimes offer refurbs that will meet your needs. You can find cheaper GPS units, but eventually you will be in the same situation w/ outdated maps. There are quite a few 5in LMT models currently going for around $150.00. You may still be able to find a similar bargain as we get closer to X-mas. During Black Friday, one time map updates were going for $19.99 and lifetime for $49.99.

Unless you can find a way to get free maps, I would seriously be thinking about getting something else. But please consider, the Nuvi500 is a 3.5in model GPS. Happy caching!!! Edited Decemby Deuce & Spark Thanks again to everyone for all the help. It says it works on the Nuvi 500 and has lots of good reviews. Kind of like filling a flash drive with files to take someplace else, and then deleting them when you get home and don't need them on there anymore. Relieved to see that's not the case!Ībout the last two replies (fishgeek and sussamb): That makes perfect sense to me, moving maps on and off the Nuvi. Whew, I was a little scared there that I had broken the law by downloading that. It's an easier way to get the entire US at once than going to These are legal and compiled from Open Street Map data. Yes there are some pirated maps out there, but just the fact that it uses. There are a bunch of perfectly legal, legitimate maps that are distributed as. Please don't make baseless statements such as this.

The downloading of torrent (illegal Garmin) maps might result in a virus and often the map itself doesn't work. I'm not sure which format OpenMapChest uses (OpenStreetMap gives you a choice of file types), but be prepared for either. gmapi file, which has to be installed into basecamp first.

You will need a bit torrent client to download the map. Otherwise, you have to make sure you select all of the tiles from the open street map site, and then you wait in a queue for your custom map to be created. To open your torrent file, you need a bit torrent client (google and you'll find one).įor the entire US, the OpenMapChest map might be the better option. This is a nice option in that you can actually download a single file from multiple sources at once, so you often get faster downloadd speeds than if you downloaded from a single server. torrent file you downloaded is really just an identifier so that you can download files from the bit torrent network. These large file sizes are also why they come as torrents. Your Nuvi didn't come with an SD card, but there is a slot to insert one. Even Garmin's own map updates are usually larger than the internal storage on a Nuvi permits. A routable map of the entire US is going to be large, so large that it likely won't fit directly on your Nuvi, thus the need for a SD card. Garmin maps are a mix of simplicity and complexity. If yes, use Garmin Express to update your map. Does your Nuvi 500 come with lifetime map updates? (is it the the Nuvi 500 LM or LMT?) street map would be a quick and easy process, but I am stumped. I'm not a dumb person, and I thought getting a basic U.S.

I would be so grateful if someone would explain (or point me to a site that explains) in very simple, plain language how to put a current map on our Nuvi.
torrent to my PC, but then they wanted me to download another program just to open that file. I then unsuccessfully tried to find a site that would tell me how I would know if I had one. One site wanted me to load stuff onto an SD card, and I don't even know if my device has one.
I went to sites like openstreetmap and openmapchest and they were pretty confusing. I can't seem to find anything that has simple, straightforward directions for downloading and installing. I've been all over the Internet (and this forum) trying to figure out how to download and install a free updated map of the continental U.S.
