After downloading the latest map update was told not enuff memory to install. So I had to install just Canada and Northern US States. Is there any way to down load and install to a SD card and use that in the GPS or does Garmin just want me to buy and new one. --- avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.

Agree about just install onto an SD card, but unless the Nuvi 760 is very different from all the other Garmins, it will not override the internal. You have to go to Settings, Map, then Info. It should show both maps with a checkbox on each. Uncheck the internal one and then it'll work. With both checked, it seems to "favor" the internal one. BTW, if you remove the SD card when on, or turn on after, it'll "check" the internal one again. Rick
I see the other advice to install onto an SD card, but I like to keep my SD cards for music. What I do is copy the old map off the Nuvi to a PC to make space available, then install the new map. Works a treat because the problem is that the 760 doesn't have internal space for two full maps, but it has space for one.
How does one install onto an SD card? I have downloaded the Western Europe 2012.4 map to my hard disk: do I just copy some stuff to the SD, or does it need to be 'installed' in a Garmin format. Garmin downloader would not allow me to download/install to any other location than its own default (browse option greyed out).

So can some one give me the stept by stept how to install to SD card. .. Do you just down load the map update to computer only then copy that from your hard drive to the SD card or put the SD card in the nuvi760 first then when you go to dowload to your nuvi 760 it will see the extra memory in the sd card. --- avast!

The filename has to be: GMAPSUPP.IMG In a folder called "Garmin" for the GPS to recognize it. G:\Garmin\GMAPSUPP.IMG Sometimes the unlock for your GPS is in that file, and sometimes it is a file called: GMAPSUPP.UNL Which has to be in the same folder. If the fliename is: GMAPPROM.IMG Rename it to the above for use on the SD card. This is the name used for the file in the GPS itself. From what you write above, you may have the Garmin Mapsource version of the files. In that case, you have to select the maps you want in Mapsourcen and save to the SD card. You can do this with the SD card in a holder or in the GPS, with the GPS connected via USB. Be SURE you select the SD Card, NOT the GPS. Rick
Those files were not around where I did the download and Map Source was on a old computer I no longer have. Use a lap top now. Will Call Garmin later today but at this point if want all of North America would appear will need to buy SD card from them for $79.00 Dollars so much for my perchase of life time updates for that machine.

Or, if you'd rather not buy an SD card, just load the map directly to the Nuvi. That's what I do. I prefer to save the SD card for music.
No, the start of this thread talked about adding a second full map to the 760. There isn't enough room internally for two complete maps, so just remove the old one. Now you have room on the device for the new one, and you don't have to give up your SD card to do it.
Sunshine wrote on Feb 22, 2012: I don't know what process you are using when you refer to "adding a second full map". Garmins normal map update will replace the current map with the new updated version, otherwise the internal memory would quickly fill up. The problem is that the size of the CN map file has increased substantially with the most recent update. I use City Navigator Europe, and still have the 4 most recent versions still loaded on my computer. Looking at these I see V2012.3 3.03GB V2012.4 4.24GB. The Nuvi 765 has an internal memory of 4 GB so there is no way the complete map can now fit.
The North America maps don't seem to be that big. With 2012.40 loaded I still have nearly 500KB free, although I've taken voices and some other junk off that I didn't need. I don't think that amounted to much, though.
I finally got ahold of the Garmin Teck people after 30 minute wait. They had me delete all the voices except the english ones. All the extra cars etc help files. and some other stuff like the sample music and text etc. Ater that by using the map update program 3.0.8 I was able to reinstall the complete map upgrade.

Just buy an SD card in one of the box stores--Best Buy/Staples etc. More than likely a 4 GB card is more than enough and will cost you about $10 on sale MLD
