I recently purchased a nuvi 200w. is there any way to update the
roads and POIs? Does Garmin have a download site?
Thanks

#2 - custom poi's can be added to your GPS via the free POI Loader on the
Garmin website.
you can create your own POI list on your PC and download it to your GPS

#3 - should also grab the WebUpdater to download updates & enhancements

I was able to update to the latest software at #3. But when I put in
my serial number after going to #1 I got nothing available for this
unit. I would like to load this unit up with the max for POIs. are
there any further suggestions you can share?
Also, I have an SD card slot on this unit. What is that for, just
PICs? Can I purchase additional updates that utilize that slot.
Thanks for your response. Any help you can give is greatly
appreciated.

on the 200w -
if you go to Settings -> Map -> [map info button]
what version is displayed ?
on my 260, it shows City Navigator North America NT 2008
when you plug in a USB cable to the PC,
do you see 1 or 2 drives ?
ala - D:\ = Nuvi internal memory
and E:\ = SD card external memory (even if card not present)

Mine shows City Navigator North America NT 2008 with a check mark at
the beginning of the line. Then on a second line it shows: (1) City
Navigator Lower 48 States NT 2008.
I see two drives; One is Garmin (E:) which is 991 MB with 6.05 free
MB. The other is listed as Removable Disk (G:) indicating 0 bytes.
There is no card in the slot.
Thanks
