Free garmin mapinstall4/7/2023 However this is not to say that we can still try and salvage this unit and upload the maps you need to it. This is the emailed reply I got from Garmin, "I can confirm there are device limitations due to the age of the unit. The file sizes have been greater than 4GB. Until this most recent 2021.20 map update, using Garmin Express, I've been able to install full Europe maps to the sd card. The Garmin link suggests that, "The latest version of MapInstall may create multiple map files on compatible devices in order to allow the full available space to be utilized." Perhaps the 660 is now not a compatible device and therefore, multiple sd cards need to be used. Mapinstall or Mapsource Will Not Allow More Than 4GB of Maps to Be Installed The sd card can be formatted (cleared) and other maps areas selected for future trips. From GE, I installed UK & Ireland to the device internal memory, then using MapInstall, selected the regions of Europe I may wish to visit and sent them to the sd card. I've spoken to and had email correspondence with Garmin, basically they are saying that the 660 is now an old device and no longer supported in the way is was. The MapInstall panel is about 8" x 6", not very clear, whereas, if using MapSource, the full PC monitor screen view can be used. I had to select the maps/tiles from the areas I'm likely to visit within the 4GB restriction. This does not allow what previously would have been "Full Europe" to be installed. There is a Garmin restriction on a max of 4GB file size which can be sent to the sd card, irrespective of the size of the sd card, I have a 32GB one installed. This is now a PITA, the full maps need to be installed to my PC then manually transferred to the device sd card via MapSource or MapInstall. Previously, GE would allow me to send "Full Europe" maps to the sd card within the device.
