I have just one short route with just points at the beginning and the end on it. It seems that there should be less than 87% used up. Is that normal and maybe that the actual routes don't add much?

NAV V is 87% full. Is that normal?

When you get the NAV V, it has a whole bunch of files in its memory that you don't need and can erase to free up space. There is a copy of basecamp on it for example (actually one for windows and one for Macs if I remember correctly), as well as pdf's of the manuals and voice files for all of the supported languages. I deleted the programs (basecamp), the manuals and the unused voice files and got a whole bunch of memory freed up.

I don't know anything about using SD cards. -don't even know where the slot would be. It looks like I got some learnin' to do.

Do what Bob says and delete unneeded files to free up memory. You many need to google this to learn more about what files you can afford to delete and cause no problems for yourself. If you aren't loading new maps then you will find routes you create don't use hardly any memory, and what's more, you can delete routes/trips you don't need to keep after traveling them. I see no need for add'l memory from adding an SD card, and again that is because I only have the current map for the USA.

Do you not have the manual? Here's an excerpt:
"Installing a Memory Card
NOTE: The device supports microSD, microSDHC, and microSDXC memory cards. It does not support exFAT. Memory cards must be formatted as FAT32.
1 Remove the back cover and the battery from the device.
2 Insert a memory card into the slot on the device.
3 Press it in until it clicks."

I would recommend you take the device to somebody that knows its file system. For a person not ready to insert an SD card, deleting files might lead to real problems.

Just google the issue and you will get ample instructions from zumoforums and other on exactly what can be deleted and how to do it. That's what i did and I have more than ample free memory.
