Even if you want to eventually use the SD card for POIs, we first need to get you to load POIs to be usable by your GPS by whatever method may work. For most folks, loading POIs to a SD card is not needed and may never be of use to us. Very many of us here load our POI files directly to the GPS memory with POI Loader. If you've not ever been able to load POIs to your GPS with POI Loader, let's try starting with something simpler. If you still experience problems, please contact Product Support. If so, right-click the Garmin drive, and click Change Drive Letter and PathsД¬lick on the small drop-down box and choose a letter that is not already in useД¬lick yes/ok to any software/change message you receiveД«ack out to your desktop and see if it will recognize the device Plug your unit into your computer via USB cable If your device is going into USB Mass Storage Mode but does not display in My Computer, please try changing the drive letters: For more information on compatible USB cables, visit the article What kind of USB cable do I need to connect my Garmin GPS to a computer? You will also need to ensure that you are using a compatible USB cable. If the cable is already plugged directly into the computer, try plugging it into a different port. Note: If your computer still does not detect the unit, make sure that you plug the USB cable directly into the computer USB port and not a USB hub. The unit either should automatically go into USB Mass Storage Mode or displays USB Mass Storage Mode as an option on the screen. If your computer does not detect your Garmin unit, you can try these troubleshooting steps: Your computer uses USB Mass Storage Mode to detect your Garmin unit.

It also states that I may have to set the interface option to Garmin or Host? Can't find any place to do that. I even changed USB Ports checked every connection.

I tried to download the POIs using POI Loader. If your computer has a SD card slot or you have a USB card reader, you can also work directly with the the card and put the card into the 255W after you have the POIs on the card. Then the card will show as an available drive in POI Loader or you can manually create a garmin folder with a GPX subfolder on the SD card and copy gpx files to the GPX subfolder. The drives will appear in My Computer (XP) or Computer (Vista and 7). In a short time you should see signs of your computer recognizing your 255W and the card in it as separate drives. Whatever method you use, the way to start is to turn off the 255W, put in the card (if it is not already in), and then attach your usb cable to your 255W and then to your computer. Please describe what procedure you are using to вЂњdownload to the SD CardвЂќ. Are you referring to the 255W screen or do you mean a screen on your computer that you see while you are running Garmin's POI Loader? I am not sure what you mean by вЂњthe Garmin screen shows itвЂќ. I notice that they are formatted as FAT32. I have used several different brands of SD cards and did not have to format them in order to use them in my 255W. The computer apparently does not recognize that the Card is there, although the Garmin screen shows it.Дo I have to reformat the SD Card first or do I insert the card into the computer and try to download that way. Now I tried to download to the SD Card, by inserting the card into the Garmin. *Note: StreetPilot c300 and i-Series units do not currently support the SDHC (High Capacity) cards.

When using a card with a larger capacity and when the files on the card are large in number and/or size, the unit's ability to draw mapping may be slowed. If you are not sure which your unit requires, please refer to its documentation.
