Garmin Express Prompts to "Use A Memory Card (Recommended)"

null

Garmin Express™ software provides the ability to install a map update directly to an SD card.  This process may be needed for discontinued devices. 

The SD card installation option will only appear when updating a compatible device that does not have sufficient internal memory for the full map update. When using the SD card installation option, critical files are loaded to the SD card so it must remain in the device after the update to ensure full functionality. For the largest size SD card a device can use, see the FAQ SD Card Sizes for Automotive Devices.

The SD card support during the map update will only function with up-to-date software. It may be necessary to update the device's software with Garmin Express™ prior to updating the maps.

The internal space on the device may be insufficient if Garmin Express™ gives an error message. See Garmin Express™ Only Offers Options to Contact Product Support or Use a Memory Card.

NOTE: The following devices do not support an installation to the SD card using Garmin Express™.
