Re: How many maps can we load in 205W
wahladino wrote:Understand 200W can load up to 6 maps. Does 205W do likewise ?
Main Memory
1. gmapbmap.img - basemap
2. gmapprom.img - preinstalled map (if any) or additional map if you replace this map
3. gmapprom1.img - additional map
4. gmapsupp.img - additional map
5. gmapoem.img - additional map but this map cannot be deselected
SD Card
6. gmapsupp.img - additional map
No way to add more than one map in SD Card (I don't like to combine maps)? My SD Card is 2Gb. What a waste!

Re: Nuvi 205W
Hi.. newbie here. Sorry if this has been answered somewhere else...
If I buy the US version of the 205w and update to the latest firmware, will I be able to see the POIs in navigation mode if I use MFM?
Thanks very much...
