This is probaly old hat but it doesn't hurt to state the basics now and again. I hope someone finds it useful.
I have just updated the maps on my 550. I followed the route I have been using for some years, i.e. connect the 550 to the laptop and open Express. In the 'installation options' or similar select the install to computer option. This downloads the whole Europe map to the laptop. When that has completed, disconnect the 550 from the laptop and remove the SD card from the sat nav. (I use an 8 gb card which I have used for some years). Put the SD card into the SD slot on the laptop and start Mapinstall. The map comes up and, by zooming and panning I can get to where I want to start. I highlight most of Europe and click on install. After some time (hours) the map is transferred to the SD card. I put the card back in the 550, turn on, it sees the new maps and it's job done.
