:confused1: Does the sd card have "Garmin" as a root directory. I also have another directory subordinate to that that is "MP3". No problems. btw. Your Zumo can only access 1000 songs per sd card so ......

Doesn't have anything to do with the sd card. You can put an 8g card in there with 5000 songs on it but the Zumo will only index 1000. I may be wrong but don't think so.

Consider joining THE ZumoForums - I've learned a lot from some very knowledgeable Zumo users over there ..

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
