I have a 2014 RT limited it came with a garmin 660. I want to update maps and cant find a way to attach the cable. I have Garmin express set up for my zumo 550 but cant find a port on the 660.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

If you bought your Spyder second hand be sure to have the previous owner remove his name from the Garmin ownership or it wont download to you. You will also need Garmin Express.

I have never found that to be true. Does not need to be registered or does not need to be registered to you.

But I believe if it is registered to someone else, you can't down load the newer maps.

Like I said it does not matter who it is registered to. I have updated several for other folks. It always works. If it is a lifetime model or if lifetime maps has been bought for that unit of course.

If you stay in the Garmin universe for trip planning, I would recommend downloading their MapSource. It is the predecessor to BaseCamp, and somewhere on Garmin's site (at least it used to) it said that the 660 isn't compatible with BaseCamp. I was able to create trips on BaseCamp then export to MapSource to load on my 660. But if I went directly from BC to the device, it would sometimes drop turn points, especially if turn point B, for example, was nowhere near the straight line from A to C. Did I make myself clear on the last sentence?
