Good Morning, I have a Garmin Nuvi 350 GPS...A friend gave me 2 discs with 2 different lake programs on them...1 is a disc that has Garmin U.S. recreational Lakes with fishing hot spots central....disc 2 has a program called bluechart...i put the recreational lakes on a 4gb SD card but it didnt work at all in my garmin....couldnt even see it...so i installed the recreational lakes program on my computer and i can see everything on there so i know the programs work...i guess my question is, how do i make these programs work with my GPS...obviously im not doing something right...ive watched a couple youtube videos but they made me more confused than ever...could someone please give a real basic instructions on how to add lake maps to my garmin? i want it for leech lake in central MN...i know the recreational lakes map has like hazards and channel markers and marinas and so on...im just completely new to this gps thing and so any help would be great...thanks alot all...i appreciate it, Brian from MN

The map software is linked to serial number of the unit the maps where first installed. If your friend installed the maps on his unit, you can not install the same map set on second unit unless you buy and register an additional map key.
