My Garmin GPSMAP 78s shows me a Database Error each time i want to Mark a location or transfer files to i

I suggest you try resetting the device by following the instructions in the owner's manual. If the issue persists, it may be due to an error in the map database. You can try reinstalling the maps to the memory card after unlocking them for your device. If you are still experiencing issues, please contact Garmin Product Support for further assistance .

Systemsoftware missing oregon 550T USB ontoegankelijk

ENGLISH Translation. We are a North American website, we only converse in English. https://translate.google.ca/ System software missing Oregon 550T USB inaccessible. I can't manage it, I've been busy for hours and days with all the tips, but I can use the mentioned program Updater.exe and I have also seen other program names that you have to put on your SD card of max 32 MB in the folder with Name GARMIN, after which the system software should start again from the SD card, for this you still have to turn it off - remove the batteries, insert them, connect the USB, put your nail in the top right corner, but without a program I can't get anywhere. Because it does not recognize the USB, I cannot use the web updater, which also means that Garmin Express is out of the game. Who oh who can help me further? =============================================== Download and use Garmin Express as a clean install. Use the Web Updater. Make sure the Device is registered on the Garmin website. I am on my third Garmin Auto GPS and never had a unit that couldn't be reset or updated. https://support.garmin.com/en-CA/?partNumber=010-00697-18&tab=software Or return it to Garmin Europe https://www.google.com/search?q=garmin+oregon+550t+handheld+gps+receiver+reinstall+software+download ..

How to prevent Drive52 continually resetting itself ?

By 'resetting' you mean it switches off, and because it is connected to power, it boots back up. Do you have a SD Card in it? I had trouble with a Nuvi 1350 with SD Card that had the whole USA Map on it, mine came with the Canada Map only. It would randomly turn off, so I decided to buy a Factory Refurbished Drive 50. I removed the SD Card and Reset the Nuvi and it worked perfectly after that. The Drive 50 was also a bit flaky, and resetting fixed that as well. You can back up your Favourites beforehand.

How do I install an SD memory card on my Gateway laptop-

Get a USB card reader with a microSD slot. There are a lot of choices. https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Portable-Reader-RS-MMC-Micro/dp/B006T9B6R2 is the simplest type. Others have a USB cable. More expensive models have a detachable (replaceable) USB cable. See https://www.amazon.com/sd-card-reader/s?k=sd+card+reader for more models. Most of these do not need special drivers to work with most OS versions. (Note: I don't know about ChromeOS drivers. Most Unix versions will mount the reader easily.) I've seen B&H Photo Video (bhphotovideo.com) sell various SD and microSD cards with the card reader included for free. There are also SD adapters for the microSD cards so you can get a reader without a microSD slot. Cindy Wells (my household has several USB card readers. Some are USB 3.0 and the others are older USB 2.0 models. You do need to be very careful handling the card and put it into the reader with the correct orientation. I've seen the microSD cards get damaged when someone moves them between slots.)
