how many gb sdcard i should buy for nuvi 40 lm
1870081
I bought the 4gb micro sdcard because the 2013 map updates wouldn't fit on the internal memory. The 4gb is plenty sufficient for map updates. I'm not sure how large a micro sdcard the nuvi 40lm accepts if you were thinking of going bigger.

you can, this is what i ordered;Garmin City Navigator Europe NT Map Card MicroSD/SD by Garmin used about $49; you might want to get a SDHD 16 gigs; I found as I got more maps, each is 5-7 gigs; I also have USA, europe and added ASIA; wonder if 32 gig would work; not sure what else to put on it; keep all files backed up on pc and external storage;

The manufacturer recommends Class 4, no larger than 32 gb (16gb recommended; I think it has something to do with using more battery at 32gb). Using a 32 gb card I have over 3 days of music and have used less than 1/2 og memory.

I am not sure. I tried a mini sd card but the nuvi 40 did not seem to recognize the card.I would call Garmin. I have had good success when I call.Judy

You can put a 32GB micro SD card in it. That is the maximum size that it supports according to DLink. I have a 32GB card in mine.

Just a regular size sd card is fine - any size I think. We use a 16GB card.

Do I MUST buy the microSD card from Garmin for my Nuvi 1450? There is quite a difference in price if I buy a "generic" one...

You need to purchase a Micro SD card. An 8GB version is more then enough and costs $40 or so. I live in the US and Europe and have both maps loaded which is why I went with a larger card but I read that most folks can get away with a 3-4 Gb Micro SD card without running into storage issues. Most Garmins come with a base pre installed map (no route detail, like looking at a basic map) and also have the City Navigator bundled on a larger data card. In my case, I simply bought the micro sd card, put it into the Garmin, plug it into the computer, went to Garmins web site and downloaded the City Navigator Europe to my computer, then transferred that map onto my Garmins data card. When you plug in your Garmin with the data card already inserted you see two icons on your desktop. One is the Garmin device, the other is the micro sd card. Copy the maps to the SD card. Eject, done! If you want to swap between maps it's in your settings. Just select and go. I also recommend downloading the Garmin Updater app to keep your devices firmware and other features current.

Not familiar with Garmin 40. But if SD slot use on my garmin works well. I live in Oman and used my Garmin to drive over and in dubai. Belive me, a Garmin is a must while driving around the city.

I used 16 GB card and it was ample. A 64 is more than the battery will likely support. I never tested it for sure.

I had a 64gb card for it. I don't think it particularly matters on the size of sd card you use. As Long as it is the correct type of card the size shouldn't matter.

Check your user handbook for the maximum SD card GBs your cell phone can use.

I would suggest that you contact Garmin technical support and ask that same question to be sure your unit will support it - I have an older model Garmin nuvi and the last update I downloaded required me to put a memory card in to hold the amount of data - it was cheap enough - but something to consider is whether your unit will support current and future map updates & downloads - if your unit will support this lifetime maps update, go for it - great deal

You need to check the spec sheet for your unit. You can find it on the Garmin web site. If it accepts a MicroSD card then this storage device should work on your unit. The biggest issue is what size to get since that will depend on the maps you want to download to your Garmin. I installed a 4GB storage device and it was just large enough to hold the maps for the lower 48 states. If you want to download more maps, (i.e. Canada, etc.) than that you will need a larger storage device.

Like Jennifer said less than 1 gb. However, you can add (buy) up to a 32gb micro sd card for games, music, etc. Therefore, that should be more than enough.

We're using a Sandisk 4G SD high capacity card and its working great. I think any of the SD cards work. Best to get biggest you want to buy for max pics.
