Do I really need the adapter. Can the SDHC card simply not be inserted into the Garmin devise?

If you have slot for micro SD Card it will work without adapter. But most Garmins have the standard SD Card Slot requiring the adapter.

You don't need it to insert the card into the Garmin but you do if you want to insert it in your computer's card reading slot. I I don't think any computers have slots for the micro cards. Hope this is helpful.

I just simply took the SD card and inserted it into my computer, downloaded the software, then installed into my garmin. Not sure why they used the word adapter.

Nancy, that will NOT work in your Garmin Nuvi GPS. You need to get a "Micro SD Card" and make sure it comes with an "SD Card Adapter" (most micro cards come with an adapter but not all do so make sure it is specified that the adapter comes with it). The Ultra card shown is far to big to fit the in your Garmin's card slot. The Micro will fit. What you do is insert the Micro card into the adapter, essentially making it the same size as regular cards that will fit into your computer SD Card slot. Then you insert the card into your computer, download the desired information onto the card (maps, languages or what have you) and remove it. You then remove the Micro card from the adapter and everything you downloaded is now on that little guy. You then insert the Micro card into your Garmin and upload the information on it into the Garmin and there you have it. It's far more simple than it sounds. For a step by step, should you need it, simply do a search "how to insert and remove micro SD card from adapter". It should take you to a nice, short little YouTube video that shows you how it is done. Hope that helps. (By the way, that Garmin comes with a lot of memory and with a lot of stuff crammed in it. I deleted a whole bunch of stuff such as the languages that were on my Garmin and that provided plenty of room for all of the things I wanted to keep on there. Generally there will be enough memory space on it unless you are wanting to upload a map of South America or some other country onto it. Also, be advised that this particular model is no longer being manufactured but as far as I know it will continue to work fine for you.)

It seems to be a universal adapter, so if your devise has a micro USB plug it will allow it to accept the standard USB plug. It works for my tablet. Also, it is cheap.

Yes you can get an sd card. Garmin European cards come out every 2 years and the 2012 is much more reasonable in price than the 2014. We purchased a 2012 that covered Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

Yup- need to have some data on there...it helps! Too bad the SD card reader is limited to SD and won't play the newer SDHC. So the card reader is limited to 2 gigs. Somewhat useful but not supe-useful for video as many of those files or folders are well over 2 gigs.

Micro SDHC is what I bought to use in it. Make sure it is a MICRO. I accidentally bought a regular one. I got mine at Wal Mart . Made by PNY 16GBHope this helps!

NO. I tried to install a Garmin SD card with maps of Europe, and the unit says the maps are corrupted. I bought another card (new, factory sealed) and the same thing happened. In both cases, Garmin customer service said that they don't understand why the cards don't work (but if you search their support site, there is a reference to this problem and you are told to contact customer support). Garmin Customer Support said that the only way to make the unit work is to buy and download maps directly from their website. But the Nuvi 66 doesn't have nearly enough internal memory for Europe maps so you are forced to buy a microSD card and copy the maps to it after downloading them. After wasting so much time, I didn't have time to do this before leaving for Europe so I wound up paying 18 euros extra per day for a rental car with GPS for a total cost of $375! Garmin should be ashamed.

If you have the brand Garmin then only buy a Garmin charger. I have bought several cheaper chargers and they are not compatable to Garmin products. Hope this helps

You need this: Sandisk MicroMate SD / SDHC Memory Card Reader (Static Pack, New, SDDR-113)

A lot of older computers could not accept the micro SDHC cards. You could put the card in the adapter and plug that into a USB port to download, or upload, photos, documents, etc. Most newer computers have a slot for these micro cards. Hope that answers your question.

there is no any extra step. just inert the Memory card into the GSP. The GARMIN express will handle found the device.

I don't think so. Check out the compatibility Device list at Garmin https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/maps/on-the-road-maps/city-navigator-nt/city-navigator-middle-east-northern-africa-nt/prod73267.html Select "Compatible with SD card" for list of approved devices These cards are encoded and need to be decoded by the firmware. If the firmware is incompatible your GPS will never be able to decode the map file.

You need to purchase a Mini SD card. You can get them under $20 depending on size.I really don't understand why Garmin did not provide enough space for a standard load with the initial purchase.

I only bought this to use with our Garmin, which has a slot for it so I would guess you would have to have some kind of card reader for it.

Hello Jason, Check and see if the USB interface is to either just update the data on the devise, or if it's a means to charge it as well. If it is a dual purpose, and can charge the GPS, then, yes, it should be able to charge it.

Only if you're Doctor Who (it's bigger on the inside!). You put the mSATA card directly in here, no adapter required. That adapter would require a 2.5 inch SATA enclosure.
