My Garmin eTrex 30 does not have a SD card slot. How do I use the SD card to load the maps on my eTrex 30?

Could you add files from sd card to a computer and then sync the device with these files. Please ask the sellers. They were very helpful.

Check out You Tube for "How To". Take out your batteries, the card goes in under them. Happy Trekking.

The eTrex 30 does have a micro SD card slot according to the manual, so you should be able to just use the card you have. Read the manual for the position of the card slot.

Go and check out the manual, there must be an SD card slot. Otherwise load the map via the computer to the internal memory. Maps are good value for the money.

I have an Oregon 350T, so I can't recommend settings for an etrex20. I can tell you that I just recently returned from Italy and the Street Maps program worked great for Rome, Venice, Verona. Florence, the Amalfi Coast, and driving on a tour bus over much of Italy. I also recently used it in Ireland. It is an amazing little app for the price.

You can not load normal GPS maps into your Garmin Edge or Forerunner device. However, recently CourseMapper was launched. It is a site that allows you to create custom maps using Google Maps as a reference, it lets you import and create waypoints and courses with coursepoints (coursepoints are garmins waypoints that are located on a course). The CourseMapper website lets you save those files to either .gpx or .crs format, or you can send it directly to your device via usb using the Garmin Communicator Plugin.Check it out at: http://coursemapper.hostsnake.com/

Hi, If the card you buy has the Mio program on it, then all you have to do is change cards. If it doesn't, then you have to load the map(s) into the 'map' folder. I have a back-up SD card for safety, then I just put the maps I want to use into the Map folder on the card I use. You can download a lot of Mio maps for free if you look around for them on the web. Hope this helps

It comes loaded on a micro SD card. However, I couldn't get it to work on my Garmin. It has been a waste of money.

When new, the Garmin leaves very little extra memory and the map data is ever expanding. The first answer is a good one. Add a micro memory card and try to upload the new data.

I have a NUVI 1490 and the 8GB MicroSD works great in this GPS. The 8GB SD card allowed me to download all the latest maps of the USA and Canada. I popped it in the GPS and I just keep it in there. In fact, I believe you have to keep the SD card in the slot to be able to access all the maps.

I own a Garmin 1400 and there is an SD slot on the left edge of the unit. Simply push the SD card into the slot to install it.

I just purchased a 4GB micro SD for my Garmin Nuvi 855 but I have been unable to download maps to it. I use an iMAC and can see the micro SD card but when I run the download program it doesn't give me the option to download to the card. Any and all assistance is appreciated.

You should ask Garmin as they would have to have the maps you need to load to use it there.

As Richard responded, you do need to get the micro SD card and then you can load maps. I had found free topos to load from online, but I can't remember the site for right now. They worked perfect however.

no. download FREE maps online via USB cable...don't pay for them!!! Even if you buy a GPS with a card slot, don't buy the SDcards...download 'em.

European maps are about $89. The question is does this GPS have sufficient memory to add a European map? Some of the earlier models let you add an SD card. I don't think this one does.

Follow the following steps: 1- Install the Garmin App on your PC; 2- Connect your GPS to your PC through the USB Port; 3- Format the Drive; 4- Reinstall the Maps. You may need to insert an SD card in your GPS SD slot, if the map size is too large. That should do the trick. Your device would be updated to its latest version as well as the maps. Good Luck!

On a front panel there are 2 slots for mini SD cards. Left one is for GPS card. You'll need to find the iGO maps for Brasil and load it there (delete the old ones) My card is 4GB. I found a guy who did it for me. As I install all Europe. And the 2GB card I used for music and install it in the right slot.

Yes, the problem you may run into is lack of memory for your unit. The current memory cards are beyond the units ability. Your only option is to get one from Garmin or only load a partial update for your area.
