Updated my 750 today tio <subj> however I cannot update the map on Mapquest and the program says there is no map on the device which is wrong.
I have an older version on MQ which I want to remove but I cannot; I uninstalled, cleaned all directories, done a fresh install and the darn thing shows up there.
How can I update the MQ map to 2011.20?
Thanks

What can be done to have details displayed?
Thanks.
How do I update it?
And on a side note.. Do you guys always download to the computer, then transfer to GPS. Is that a smarter option than downloading directly to GPS??
If you do not store the map on the computer you can only use Basecamp etc to see the map when the satnav is attached to the computer.
However YMMV
The map update process has apparently changed. My nuvi is new enough that I never went through the old process with it.
Now you d/l a helper file and with your nuvi connected to the computer, update the mapset. The map upgrade is not stored on your computer. If you have Mapsource, you can choose the advanced option and d/l to both the nuvi and your computer.
On two different computers (both XP), I use myDashboard to download the install program. When I run the program it sees to work fine, although I am never presented any "advanced" option as mentioned in this forum.
It dowloads in around 30 minutes, it says it "prepares" the maps then "installs" the maps. I get a "your maps are now up to date" message and then disconnect the units from the computer. When they boot up, both still have 2011.10. Interestingly, Mapsource is updated and shows 2011.20 installed.
It maybe that since you haven't gone into the Advanced screen the default is set to only be done on to your computer.
