I found a problem in loading my lifetime maps onto my c530 which has limited memory. Procedure is to pick a section of maps (Western States, for example) and then to use mapinstall to load the remaining areas on my SD card. I thought I selected all of the remaining areas, and was suprised this week when I was traveling in NJ, that in one section (area around Edison NJ) my address function did not find the city. Further, when I drove into the area, the detailed maps and directions were not present.
I wish there was a way to know exactly what was added, and not added in mapinstall. I have complained in the past on this site and also to Garmin, that the installation procedure should allow you to select the large groupings that are used to install on the main GPSr for the install on the SD card as supplemental.
This is the first time I actually experienced the fallout from not having this option. BTW, southern NJ and New York were loaded in and operational.
