Hi,

I am pretty new to Magellan GPS, got 4050.

Just noticed that 4050 has 4.5M POIs and 4250 has 6M.
Is it possible to download 4250 POI set to 4050 unit or
would it cause problem ?

The reason I am asking is because I previously had 4000 [1.3M],
downloaded the POIs for 4040 by mistake and it worked great.

Also have anybody tried to download Magellan topographic maps to
4050 ?
I often go hiking to remote areas and think it would be very useful
for me.
Would it cause problems with driving maps?

Please advise.

TIA,
Oleg.

Should be fine. Search here:

There have been some reports, however, that the 6M file might be bloated
with a lot of inaccurate and useless information. The 4.5M file might be
the sweet spot. Be sure to save a copy incase you want to go back.

Don't know but I doubt it.
If you wanted that capability, you "upgraded" to the wrong unit!
