How do you delete pictures in the Garmin 265T picture viewer section. It comes with some pics of buildings and some other views. I hope that I can some how transfer pics into the viewer from my camera ( I guess I need a micro mem. card to do this) Can you get some kind of adapter from the regular card to a micro card? Thanks.....Cy

Deleting pictures

If you connect your unit to the computer you will find the pictures in the Garmin folder under Media. You can then delete them as you would any file.

Just delete them when your garmin is hooked up to your computer. You can manage just about everything from there.

Hope that helps

If you connect the GPS unit

If you connect the GPS unit to your computer with a USB-to-miniUSB cable, it will appear under "My Computer" as if it were an external hard drive or CD drive, etc. (It may appear as two drives. One is the GPS and the other is the SD memory chip slot in the GPS.) Click (or double click) to get into the drive that shows as "Garmin nuvi". Inside there you'll find a folder named "Garmin". Get into that folder and you'll find one named "JPEG". The pictures are in there.

You can delete, copy, or move any JPG photos from there, and copy any photos from your computer (or probably your camera) into there. Any JPGs in that folder will appear in your GPS's photo viewer.

Also, if you have an SD memory card, you can make a folder in that card called "GARMIN" and make a subfolder in that one called "JPEG". If you copy photos into that GARMIN\JPEG folder on that SD memory chip, when you insert the chip into your GPS those photos should also be available for viewing.

The ideal finished photo size is 480 pixels by 232 pixels, but the GPS will resize your photos to make them fit the screen anyway. If you prepare your images in PhotoShop (or a similar program) to be a ratio of about 2:1, they will look great on the GPS display.
