GPS Garmin Zumo 660LM Update Questions
I haven't tried to use my Zumo 660LM for almost 3 years. Put it on my Spyder last week and discovered the battery needed charged and it needs updated maps. I have some questions and hope someone can answer all of them.
Do I need to pay for these downloaded maps from Garmin?
Does the Zumo 660LM have a MicroSD Card? If so will I need to replace it or increase the GB capacity for the new maps?
I need to download Garmin/Express and follow there guidelines correct?
The battery display is fully charged at 4 green bars correct?
Please wish me luck as I haven't completely arrived in the 21st century when it comes to all the device technology.
Cheers!
Register your gps with Garmin - that should answer many questions.

Why are you asking this? Battery life should not be an issue since when it is mounted on the bike and the bike is running, the gps is being powered (and internal battery recharged) by the bike's battery. When you shut the bike off, the gps will ask if you want to continue on battery power or not? If you don't respond, it shuts itself down as a fail-safe for battery. If you're going to be stopped for any length of time (i.e. over an hour) and you're away from the bike, you probably want to disconnect the gps is store it somewhere safe.
Does that answer your question about battery life?
As to the other questions, follow the instructions in the quick-start manual for the gps. This will include instructions for registering your gps with Garmin and setting up an account where you can update maps, etc.
