Nuvi 500 garmin manual

Turn the Nuvi on, and when it boots up you will see the home screen which has the Where to? Press the wrench at the bottom right and another screen is displayed. You may have to press the down arrow, but look for another icon called My Data. Once you press it, you will see the import option. Nothing close to import. I installed a MicroSD into my Nuvi I transferred two. Can't find them. I tried the following: Custom Routes I disconnected and connected again, double checked to make sure the files were on the SD drive I even read the owner's manual which, strangely enough, doesn't seem to mention how to find the files once they are on the SD drive.

Have you look at the information on page 11 and 20 in the owners manual? It shows using mapsource and doing custom routes on the unit itself. Any help and patience is appreciated. You have to have a Garmin Folder and a sub folder for the items you want the unit to read. Storing the output from POI Loader in these will work. The second thing is you need to force the unit to reboot so it reindexes the content of the unit and the card.

Some units will let you hold the power switch to the left for seconds, others you need to follow the reboot procedure that has been osted many times. That makes sense. I just wish that tidbit of information was even touched upon in the manual. It would have saved me some time. I guess the real weak point is the documentation, which is pretty spare. I even went through over FAQ's at the Garmin site without finding that bit of information there.

The Nuvi found that just fine. I added another folder and labeled it GPX and put my routes in there, but the Nuvi still can't access it. I'm guessing the GPX folder should be a sub-folder for another folder I haven't created yet, right? You can only view or download manuals with.
