The cost of an SD card is cheap compared to the cost of your investment on the Nuvi. As a newbie we always recommend you to use the SD card for storage/frequent updates of maps.

Yes you can put it in main memory. Do take note that Nuvi is very unforgiving with any data corruption of map data and will refuse to bootup if this happens and you will be left with a brick or incur a very expensive service charge.

The choice is yours to make.

In your case, the garmin main memory does not accept map file name gmapsupp.img. You will have to put it into /map and rename it to whatever name you want.

hi all senior,

I am having issue with my 1350.

I found that my old 205W has more and more POI compare to my new 1350 model.

I have included the latest 111107 map but still the same result.

I also found the directories/folders organization in 205W is diff than 1350.

Where can i get those POIs and where/how should i include in my 1350?

Example: i can see the Maybank logo in my 205W but i cant see it in my 1350 even i can see the Maybank name pop up when i manually point at that location. Why ya?

From soo
