How an SD card died here
Timing is everything.... I decided to do the .11 upgrade, and used the 660 as a guinea pig...
This post is entirely separate from the other recent post regarding .11 and 660...
When I got done with download... I noticed that file names were not changed, Deleted the old files, (Which seemed to take longer than I had ever remembered) and renamed new map files, and tried card.

Question on Map upgrade loaded onto an SD Card....
Been using SD cards for Map Storage for years now.... and I've just thought about something.....
Normally I delete the map files from SD card prior to map upgrade.
Normally Map Files have to be renamed after download in order to run from an SD card.
I was wondering..... If I didn't delete the old files, would I still have to rename the files that are downloaded on SD card?
?????

What is GPSMAPPER
Maybe I had not noticed this before, but now when my 855 boots up I see something "new"? It is very hard to catch because it just shows for a second or two, but it seems to say HTTP GPSMAPPER and says to register?
Any idea where this came from? How to get rid of it?
I also have a second map showing other than the 2019.11 map.

Garmin RV 660LMT.... tracking?
I recently purchased a RV 660LMT as an aid to my RV travels. My plan is/was to use it in my tow vehicle as a car when not in the RV mode. However my tow vehicle, a 4x4 F150, also sees duty off road and often on unmaped Forrest service roads. When exploring in the past, I have used my Zumo 660LM in track mode, saving the track at days end.

Garmin Nuvi 3597 Custom Route Question
I currently am running a Nuvi 1490 but it beginning to have some issues so I am looking to upgrade. I do a lot of custom routes in Mapsource and Basecamp and I can easily upload any of them to my 1490 and run them without any problems. I tried a 25 series Nuvi sometime back but returned it when I found it didn't handle the route the way the 1490 did.

Garmin & BRP Partnership
I have owned both Garmin GPSs and Bombardier/Can Am ATVs for years, but I have never mounted a GPS on my ATV. I was at a Can Am dealer yesterday and a salesman showed me the Garmin Montana 680T GPS.
He also did mention that the Ski Doo snowmobile folks have the Garmin Zumo 590 GPS.
