The old Zumo doesn't have the memory for the lower 48 states, and other issues. Putting the data on an SD card is not the solution I thought it would be, so I'm seeking advice for a replacement.

That's really interesting...my old 2730 StreetPilot even holds lower 48 states easily.
Good luck!
I was given a Zumo 550 last month and didn't have any problems loading new maps on a SD card.The old Zumo doesn't have the memory for the lower 48 states, and other issues. Putting the data on an SD card is not the solution I thought it would be, so I'm seeking advice for a replacement.
What year are your maps? They always fit in my 550 until I went to upgrade at the end of 2011. The info on the new map set was more than the 550's memory would handle (even after deleteing ALL the unnecessary files). It would only hold about 3/4 of the country. Upgraded to a 665, no problems with memory size. Reason for upgrade was due to failing touch screen, not because of inability to hold maps.
Remember, Eisenhower's National Highway program was JUST getting started when the Streetpilot came out.
Upgrade to the 660 (no XM) or the 665 (w/XM). Either way, easier to read, and more memory. I use an 8GB micro-SD card for music and books in mp3, plus extras and maps.

I so wish Tom Tom or something else was a viable alternative to Garmin. My Zumo is corrupting routes that are updated and Garmin offered to replace it for "only" $60. If I took them up on it, that would be the fifth replacement of the unit in three years. I can upload a route in my study, preview it, turn the unit off, walk fifty feet to my garage, turn it back on, and open the route which has now become longer by adding detours and diversions. This happens 100% of the time. (And yes my software is up to date, the settings are the same on the unit and the software, and I've done a master reset multiple time). Don't even get me started on Base Camp which is I consider such a bizarrely incompetent design that my only explanation is that it's a practical joke by Garmin's software engineers.
I'm with you there. I'm fighting with it right now because I just figured out that Garmin Express will upload the latest maps to my Zumo but not to my computer, so I have a different version on the two. I found a thread on the Garmin web site where one of their people said, "Woopsie--we might fix that in the future." Garmin's senior management must be senile to allow this kind of incompetence.
