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 via Garmin MapSource® or Garmin MapInstall™ program, 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
• MP3 files²
• Audible book files³

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

²If you are loading a large amount of MP3s to the SD card, separating the MP3s into multiple folders will improve the performance of the device by allowing it to read the files faster.  

³Audible books can be downloaded from www.audible.com.
