Photo Dimensions

 

I have a Nuvi 760 and have uploaded some photos but they don't seem to fill the screen when I press Full Screen. Does anyone know what size or dimension the jpg file should be? The sample photos worked good but I deleted them.

don't know about 760, but 350

will do fine with anything over 1000 pixel width.

In addition, you can "zoom" with the "+" button to enlarge a smaller jpg image.

Changed Size

I took my scanned photo and resized it to a standard 1024 x 760 and that worked much better. I may resize all of them to make sure I am not wasting any space.

Large File Size

On my 660, I connected it to my PC via USB and looked at the sample photo files that came shipped on the unit. They were 480 X 272. So any jpg files I load on my nuvi, I resize to those dimensions.

You can certainly use 1024 X 760 and the nuvi will resize them when displayed, but the file itself will take up more memory space than it needs to. I always crop and resize to make the file size as small as possible.

That did it

480 x 272 was the trick. Thank you very much. It will also save alot of space.
