Devices Unable to Read Files Larger than 2GB in Size

NOTES:
  • In accordance with the Lifetime Maps and Maps Terms and Conditions, map updates and/or Downloadable Content (DLC) are no longer available to download or purchase and cannot be activated and/or associated with the Garmin devices listed in Map Updates and Downloadable Content No Longer Available to Download or Purchase.
  • This is due to these devices not having sufficient memory capacity and other required technical capabilities to utilize current map data.
 

The following devices cannot read or use any file that is larger than 2GB in size:

  • BMW nüvi® 350
  • BMW nüvi® 360
  • nüvi® 350
  • nüvi® 360
  • nüvi® 370
  • nüvi® 600
  • nüvi® 650
  • nüvi® 660
  • nüvi® 670
  • nüvi® 680
  • nüvi® 5000

Though these devices are compatible with SD cards larger than 2GB, any individual file on an SD card or the device's internal storage cannot exceed 2GB in size, or the file will not be seen by the device. This is most commonly a problem with European mapping but will occur with any 2GB file. The above device series are not compatible with the supplemental mapping of Europe for this reason.
