NO. I tried to install a Garmin SD card with maps of Europe, and the unit says the maps are corrupted. I bought another card (new, factory sealed) and the same thing happened. In both cases, Garmin customer service said that they don't understand why the cards don't work (but if you search their support site, there is a reference to this problem and you are told to contact customer support). Garmin Customer Support said that the only way to make the unit work is to buy and download maps directly from their website. But the Nuvi 66 doesn't have nearly enough internal memory for Europe maps so you are forced to buy a microSD card and copy the maps to it after downloading them. After wasting so much time, I didn't have time to do this before leaving for Europe so I wound up paying 18 euros extra per day for a rental car with GPS for a total cost of $375! Garmin should be ashamed.

Unlike these other morons that have the unit wired wrong. (If the unit resets, you have it wired wrong!) Yes, you can update the GPS maps. It is done via a dedicated SDHC card.

I have a NUVI 1490 and the 8GB MicroSD works great in this GPS. The 8GB SD card allowed me to download all the latest maps of the USA and Canada. I popped it in the GPS and I just keep it in there. In fact, I believe you have to keep the SD card in the slot to be able to access all the maps.

My phone was pre-loaded with US maps. If you don't have maps pre-loaded, you can always download them from Nokia and then install on the device: http://europe.nokia.com/explore-services/maps/download

You need to check the spec sheet for your unit. You can find it on the Garmin web site. If it accepts a MicroSD card then this storage device should work on your unit. The biggest issue is what size to get since that will depend on the maps you want to download to your Garmin. I installed a 4GB storage device and it was just large enough to hold the maps for the lower 48 states. If you want to download more maps, (i.e. Canada, etc.) than that you will need a larger storage device.

Yes, IF your Rand McNally GPS uses standard-sized SD cards. If it uses the micro cards, like my Tom Tom does, then no, you'll have to use a micro card. Your owner's manual should tell you which one to use, or just go by the size of the card slot.

Yes, if you purchase the SD card with Europe maps. I personally went to local office supply store and got a great deal on a blank SD card, then downloaded the maps, leaving room for other maps if necessary. I recently used these maps in the UK and they worked perfectly. I was a bit disappointed when I bought this Garmin and it did not even have sufficient space internally to download the maps.

The device does not accept memory cards (external, I assume you mean ). However, the memory that comes in the unit is enough to accommodate all the maps (mine holds North America and Europe) you might want (if you live in the US) as well as all the additional features available. If you have free updates, whenever a regional map is updated, the updater deletes the previous version, so there is always enough room. My subscription, which only updates N America, came with a one time Europe map. This is sufficient for (mostly) walking travel help in Europe.

I purchased GPS in US. It had US maps loaded. I bought a separate mini sd card with maps of Europe. You can probably find one for Venezula, but it did not come on GPS.

I am using a micro SD with no problem. I know this sounds silly, but... have you checked that you are inserting the card the right way? Good luck

you can down load maps from any where and can set it up for any where no sd card it's extra, the topo maps show the hills and valley in color and streams roads

Any Gps card that fits will work just have to soft reset the unit after it's installed

You cant get free maps. You have to buy them following instructions from TomTom site.

Hi,If the card you buy has the Mio program on it, then all you have to do is change cards. If it doesn't, then you have to load the map(s) into the 'map' folder. I have a back-up SD card for safety, then I just put the maps I want to use into the Map folder on the card I use. You can download a lot of Mio maps for free if you look around for them on the web. Hope this helps

Yes and no. I received an email for the latest maps and they (all in one file for N. America) came on a CD for only $7 shipping. It is a strong update. You can also download maps of Europe, etc. right through the excellent TomTom Home software. It is simple to install the data onto one or more SD cards. You have to keep careful track of your serial number (it's not hard to find on the unit) to install updates, since they only work with your particular unit, as a way to prevent piracy. Customer service is very friendly and helpful, though if you have any problems.

Follow the following steps: 1- Install the Garmin App on your PC; 2- Connect your GPS to your PC through the USB Port; 3- Format the Drive; 4- Reinstall the Maps. You may need to insert an SD card in your GPS SD slot, if the map size is too large. That should do the trick. Your device would be updated to its latest version as well as the maps. Good Luck!
