I inserted the SD card into my StreetPilot C530. I downloaded and installed Map Update 2009. I installed a new map to SD card everything is fine. However, I accident delete the base map from the unit. I did have a copy of it in the hard drive. And I installed all 50 states map into the C530. The map came out very weird. I tried to copy the base map back to the unit, it didn't work. It said something like "can not copy the file, the directory maybe unreadable or corrupt". The filesize in the garmin directory is only 76MB, however, it said there is only 400MB free space (with total about 1GB space in the unit). Can someone tell me how to restore the base map?

Sounds to me as if you only have the base map installed. Did you activate the new map by putting a check next to it the settings?
Nuvi 660 -- and not upgrading it or maps until Garmin fixes long-standing bugs/problems, and get maps to where they are much more current, AND corrected on a more timely basis when advised of mistakes.
Lost.
Yes, I did. I deleted the base map. If I install more than one state on the unit, I can not see the major highways even I zoom in the the most. I don't know what to do now.
