I noticed that you can load only 2025 maps at one time.

Is this a firmware issue?

Yes. Also in the 76Cx and it take hours to download them.


I think the best map upload speed (it may be only a little faster, depending on your USB version and your system) is obtained by putting the microSD card in a USB or built into your PC card reader (in the SD adapter if appropriate) and choosing the microSD card as the destination from the Transfer menu.

For maps that need an unlock code, also connect the GPS receiver to the PC via a USB port so MapSource will use the correct unlock code.
