Garmin Zumo 550

Postby zumo » Wed Dec 01, 2010 6:35 pm

Hi everyone,
am a newbie. I have a Garmin 550 and now moved to Singapore. I like to get a street map of Singapore onto my Zumo so I don't get constantly lost. Am not very familiar with GPS devises and technical aspects. Could someone show me the link to exactly which map is compatible with my Garmin Zumo 550. I will then download to my external SD card.
Many thanks. :-'

Thanks for this. Quick additional question. As i am using a Mac and not a Pc i can't "run" it so to speak. Can I just copy the file the SD card or how else can I make it run?

sure.

Create a Folder, and named in "GARMIN", and dump the gmapsupp.img file in that folder.

Then go to MAP INFO, to make sure you checked all the boxes with "MFM........."
Contribute exclusively to MFM. MSM don't get it !
