Models with the smallest preloaded maps have even a GB of free memory. Megabytes of memory available for tracks 10 000 points fit in a MB.Battery life supposedly 3-5 hours, tested to be at least 3 hours. Track logging only available in software version 3.40 as a hidden feature and was removed in later versions. A /Map folder must be created on the device, into which supplementary maps named gsupmap x.img (where x is anything, including nothing) are placed.Capable of handling (albeit with slower searching) more than a million POIs.gpx file containing route data seems to be ignored, and the user interface does not have an obvious way to select a preprogrammed route anyway. The user interface does not provide a way to delete them other than a tedious one-at-a-time process.Īlthough you can upload the individual waypoints comprising your route, the nüvi 50 does not seem to recognize the concept of a route other than the routes it calculates on its own. Restoring a backup of the "Current.gpx" file (from before the waypoints were uploaded) does not eliminate them, which suggests the Nuvi has additional memory that is not exposed through the USB interface. gpx file the waypoints will still be there and you'll need to clean them out some other way. Be aware that the Nuvi will incorporate these waypoints into its internal list so if you later delete the custom. gpx suffix, and placed in the Garmin directory. In either case the file can be a name of your choice with a. gpx file containing waypoints can be copied to either the Nuvi internal memory or an SD card. This is the only way it worked for at least one user. To override map in the built-in memory, replace.
