Data Loaded to an SD Card an Automotive Device Will Recognize

Garmin automotive devices will read a variety of data from an SD card. The recognized data types are listed below:

  • JPEG picture files
  • Garmin mapping image files loaded to the card from Garmin MapSource® or Garmin MapInstall™ software, or through Garmin's downloadable web content
  • Waypoints1 and custom Points of Interest (POI) files
    • These files do not require you to keep the memory card installed in the device once imported
    • Files will be imported to the internal memory

1Some devices require you import routes and waypoints before they will appear on the device.
