SD Card best storage?

 

HI, I have a couple questions for ya.

When downloading files to my NUVI 770, is it better to download them to a folder on my SD card or on the NUVI itself?

I have no idea how much room there is for storage on the NUVI.

I am guessing that it would be a faster search if it is on the NUVI, is that true?

One more question, sorry, I know these darn rookies....

I downloaded a POI for rest areas version C. Now I see they have a new one version H. If I try to load version H will it overwrite version C? Or will I end up with two different confusing copies?

IF So, then should I delete all the previous POI's and start over? I get nervous about deleting. I see the option in the POI loader to delete all previous POI's. Is that a bad plan?

Thanks so much for all your help!

I don't use it ....

I have a spare micro-SD card, so I started using it for my nuvi. But I found that for POIs the internal space was abundant, and I really had no reason to put them on the SD card. If I had mp3 support I would certainly use the SD for that, but I went cheap and don't have that option. About the only thing I put on my SD are pictures, and at the moment it's not even plugged in to the nuvi.

To see your space (total and available), connect the gps to your computer and (assuming you use Windows), find the nuvi drive letter under "my computer" and look under properties.

I see what you mean. I have

I see what you mean. I have 883 MB of space left on it so probably good to go once I get those jpegs off it. Thanks for the tip.

Spare SD Card

I have a spare SD card from my camera in my Nuvi but I have found that I don't need it. The nuvi has tons of space for custom poi's.

No Need to apologize for being new at the game, it is where most people start... smile

Just download your new POI files, Loader wipes the others out when you put in the new POI files. (this assumes you haven't renamed the internal file that POI Loader creates)

The delete all option on POI Loader is for those times you want to clean out files without loading more in.
