How difficult is it to down load the maps?

Maps are downloadable from Delorme and can be loaded to the PN-60 by sync from the pc or copy the maps to the SD card. This is one of the major reasons I like the PN-60.

maps are easy to download into pn-60, i use delorme Topo USA and then choose a grid they have laid out and then off it goes to the gps unit, not much trouble at all. Don't have to be computer geek to get it done. Reception on gps is awesome, i have left it in my pocket under heavy tree cover and it still recorded my tracks. Very happy with this unit.

I found that the 3rd party maps ordered at a greatly discounted price does not allow for updates of maps. I guess if it came with the maps preloaded you would get the lifetime updates (LM). I currently have the European maps and get the updates. Did you purchase the unit with LM designated behind model number?

Hi, Yes you need to download maps for each particular region. I have experience with tourist map but not for city navigation. And while it is great for hiking it could be less convenient in a dense city area.Attila

As Richard responded, you do need to get the micro SD card and then you can load maps. I had found free topos to load from online, but I can't remember the site for right now. They worked perfect however.

Not difficult at all. I use ArchLinuxARM on several Pogo devices including this one.

Never, and you cant import older " est." files into it. I have lost hundreds of files of addresses when I foolishly bought version 2011 to update my 2005 version. All my old saved data is useless. Also, there are few improvements in the 2011 version except easier access to the (optional, expensive) GPS plug in. This GPS plug in is useless and redundent since most serious drivers have GPS in there autos anyway. I rate Streets and Trips an "F". It sucks.

Yep, I have the same problem.Not sure why Mio introduces such a limitation.I asked my shop and they received confirmation from Mio that it should work.Unfortunately loading the maps fails, even if you copy them in the prime memory under the maps folder.The European maps use the fbl extention, the US ones use .map, not sure if this is the key to the problem.Anyway, if Mio thinks I will buy another Mio to use European maps then they are dreaming...

Pre-down loaded map will be useful with this bad elf like 'sygic' in app store.

Maps in Garmin format (not protected, for example Lambertus/opensteeetmap.nl) could directly be downloaded to the device or SD card on the device in USB mass storage mode when you see the device and inserted SD-card as disk drives. The same works with GPX tracks.

I believe that for a fee, you can download Europe Maps from Garmin. I'm sure this takes time, as updates take a few hours over hi speed internet.

I updated the maps once after purchasing the device as new version of the maps were available. Did not encounter any restriction on the no. of times I could do that. Also the documentation says that it is free for the 'usable' life of the device i.e. until the device can support the newer versions of the map either in the sense of its capability or storage space.

Turned if off and restart, may need to try a few times. My problem is that the map is too outdated in Oklahoma City. Don't know whether other users have the same problem when their areas develop fast.

It claims to be pre loaded with USA maps don't think it will do what you want. Sorry

I think they made the map system years ago, but they have updates that make it current, you can download for free.

If you install the micro sd, will it overwrite the maps that are not on the sd card?
