The memory in almost all GPS units "bite**  - You can buy a handheld 3 TB hard drive, yet they continue to put insufficient memory in these GPS units.  I can't speak to your specific problem Timsr, but there are some excellent forums available:

Tried 2 Tom Toms before buying our first Nuvi, both failed right out of the box. Didn't want to see if the third time was the charm.

I also have a garmin nuvi (older one) I can't install any of the new map updates, at least not the complete maps anymore. I can only install regions it doesn't have enough memory.

Update - I downloaded a huge map update about a week ago.  The issue with speed limit accuracy seems to have been corrected.  Rand Mcnally also made a number of other software upgrades.  For instance, split screens at intersections, etc.

Today, we were in Pueblo, CO, and decided to check out potential camp grounds in the area.  We used the GPS database to locate some, and had it take us to them for future reference.

We're very pleased with the Good Sam GPS overall.
