The should have SDHC support built-in. Are you sure it not recognizing the card at all, verus not seeing the map on the card? I am not sure if it not reading finding the map on the SD card or it is just not reading the SD card. I tried another SD card with no avail. When I go to maps in the menu, it says there are no maps installed thus no box to tick. I thouoght it prudent to provide an update. While many people seem to think the software is clunky, it does work.
My LM is still kicking and in fact, I just updated to maps. Jim mentioned earlier about the death of phone battery on GPS. I also noticed that my phone almost needs a small water cooled radiator during live maps use.
This limits things considerably. We have a standalone GPS in each vehicle and one to use in rental vehicles I custom mount the GPS making swapping in or out not particularly easy but possible for updates. After installing the Express software and playing with it a bit I seem to have few issues.
It compares device software revisions to the latest and will tell you if you need to update. Since it only gets used a couple times per year, I see no reason to have it park itself as a resident on the computer. Not sure how it works in earlier versions of Windows. I loaded the NA maps, on the SD card no problem. But I also want the European maps. The particular Bay map I found instructed me to create the Garmin folder and call the NA file gmapprom. If I give it the same name as the NA map gmapprom.
What you might be able to do depending on how much space you have on your device is copy the NA map to the internal storage and the Europe map to the SD card. I have the files downloaded and ready to install but cannot see hidden files. Any assistance would be appreciated. Once I tried to do the same on a Pc, everything went as usual and worked as it should.
Thanks Jim! I have a garmin gpsmap and the new north america maps. The only thing that I can get to work is the north american topo maps. Any chance you can direct me towards some information that would allow me to download my activity data from a Garmin xt WITHOUT having it go through Garmin web services? Windows does not support formatting to Fat32 for memory cards over certain size 32GB?
MPW is not the easiest tool, but there are probably other easier tools or methods as well, just do a quick google search. Thanks for this guide btw, works great!
Old garmin navs are available for next to no money, so this is a good guide for those on a tight budget. I read about GMap Tool, but I did not found any clear instructions how to split big file. Any clear advise how to split or compress an update bigger than 2 GB?

Once the file is downloaded, you have to decide what to do with it. Much thanks Jim and I hope the beach trip was spectacular! Great tips.. Cheers to Jim!! Has anyone found a way? Also my understanding is that, at least initially, the Sire App will be iPhone based with the Android platform being next on the list.
GPS does not "control" the scanner, it simply tells the scanner where it is so that it knows which channels to listen to. Nothing more. Joined Jul 18, Messages 1, Since the manual is not yet available for download, it's unclear whether that is possible.
You're missing the point. He's not going to hook the GPS up to the scanner. He now has one device on his dash that can show GPS in his vehicle while he's traveling, bring up the Siren app so he can control his scanner, etc.
I meant to post a bit more follow up a little bit sooner, so I apologize for not getting this until now. I don't think it is beyond the realm of possibility. I wonder if we will ever see future Uniden scanners capable of receiving GPS data via bluetooth.
I would think that would allow a much cleaner installation in a vehicle without adding additional wires and cables.
