Read it again but more carefully this time.
Essentially what Garmin did or is tying to do is screw me but I do not intend to let them get away with it.
Basically all I am trying to do here is to warn other Nuvi 500 owners and why they should be concerned about signing up for Garmin's lifetime upgrade.
I should hope that any of the rest of you would do the same.

The fix for this would be very simple - Garmin could just give Nuvi 500 owners a separate copy of topo 100k in the form of a gmapsupp.img file. That would allow normal updating of the City Navigator maps. Maybe you could persuade them to do this if you were insistent enough, yet also nice.
If I understand his first post correctly, this is what Garmin did. His problem is that it took 3+GB to install and he had 1.5+GB on his Nuvi. If he has a card slot, he should be able to get a 4GB card for around 4USD, and load the gmapsupp.img onto that.
Any idea how big the 500 card can be, or if it supports Birdseye?
