Oh sure, and I just updated the GPS' here to 2018.10.. Argh, it's almost like Adobe flash updates...
Thanks for the heads up!
Interesting. I just updated to 2018.20 today and the file size shows as 3.46 GB on my PC.
I bought in to the "lifetime" updates and up until the last update, all was fine with my Garmin 660. With the last update, which took me all night to download because we have terrible internet service, I was notified that it could only download sections of the U.S.. Of course I forgot about this, until I was in one of the areas it had not downloaded and the GPS was dead in the water! Had it not been for a fellow BMW friend (Jay) at the BLITZ, I would not have known what to do. He spent the better part of the weekend getting my GPS straightened out for me. I am technically challenged, to say the least, and what I needed was a "card" to expand my memory or something like that. NEVER again will I update the damn thing! Considering how much life could be left in this GPS, I doubt that many roads will change until it pukes, so I am leaving well enough alone! Thanks again Jay!
Gail - I had a similar problem years ago. I had a Garmin StreetPilot 2820, and it did not have much Random Access Memory (RAM). I found that I could tailor the actual download to the US (excluding Canada). It would still fit with Canada not downloaded. Your Zumo 660 has a slot for an SD card, and it would be easy to install. However, it sounds like you're not revisiting that option...nonetheless it's still possible. Jay would know.
Had the same problem with my Zumo and called customer service, who has always been great, and they told me to add a SD card. No issues now. And not to rub it in but now that we have fiber-optic service it is soooooooo fast.
Add a SD card to the 450 and pay for the map updates. I use a 660 now but still have my 450. It has an 8gb card installed.The last update on my '05 R 1200 Rt Zumo 450 was 2012 and my spouse just got a 2016 Can-Am Spyder Limited with a Zumo 660. Fairly significant difference. I have been thinking about updating my 450. Any thoughts on the best way to do that and cost? Thanks.

Map prices are $49.99 for Onetime and $89.99 for Lifetime on the 450.Thanks, I will go to the Garmin Site and get a price.
Mine won't update because it wants 9 GB on my hard drive (I install on the HD as well as the unit, so I can do my routing without connecting the Nav). My travel laptop only has 128 GB on its SSD so I have to figure out what to erase before I try again. I really like the SSD, it's nearly instant-on and no worries about a mechanical drive getting damaged while transporting it in the pannier.
Question: is there a way to delete old maps? I have 2016.2, 2017.2 and .3, and 2018.1. If there is a way to remove them, is it a good idea? I think routes "know" what map was used when they were created and re-using old routes will require them to be recalculated.

That would be it, the map update is for NA. Not sure what version they're on currently for Europe, I have my maps for Europe on an SD card so I can switch it between units, but I'm still on 2014.40 ($100 for new one).... might be due to the fact my Nuvi is NA maps and the VI is Euro....
