Nuvi 660 loading

 

I just purchased a nuvi 660 and would like to know if I have to load Audible Books and MP3 files through a direct connection between the Nuvi and the computer or can I just load the files on the SD card directly from the computer?

Loading books

I haven't loaded audible books, but they should load about the same as mp3. Just put them on the SD card.

same

I will try - the 660 is supposed to arrive today and I am uploading MP3's and audible books to the 2g SD card right now - hope it works.

That is how I load it on my

That is how I load it on my 4gb SD card. I put it on the card first then put the card in my 660.

Does the 660 support a 4GB SD card? I can't find the reference to it any longer, but I though it only supports up to 2GB. Can you confirm for me? (I haven't bought the card yet so I'd like to be sure.) Thanks!

Sorry for the delay, but thank you very much for the information! I can't figure out why I couldn't find the info again since I found it the first time, but your help if very much appreciated.

A lot of companies say the only support up to *GB cards, but you can use higher. I didn't even look to see, I have a few 4gb cards and used one. It works in mine, I have all my mp3's in two 4gb cards and I switch off between them. I have no problems.

I never even checked before, but this was a nice find. I useally plug it in, if it works, fine. If it doesn't I also have smaller cards.

Thanks! I guess I was too concerned about a freeze-up from which I couldn't recover to try that on my own. I appreciate the info.
