Installing a memory card for maps and data

You can install a memory card to increase the storage space for maps and other data on your device. You can 
purchase memory cards from an electronics supplier. The device supports microSD memory cards from 4 to 
256 GB. Memory cards must use the FAT32 file system format. Memory cards greater than 32 GB must be 
formatted using the device .
Locate the map and data memory card slot on your device (

Garmin

®

 Device Overview, page 1

).

Insert a memory card into the slot.
Press it in until it clicks.

Data management

The device has a memory card slot for additional data storage.
NOTE: the device is compatible with Windows 7 and newer, and Mac OS 10.7 and newer.

About memory cards

You can purchase memory cards from an electronics supplier, or purchase pre-loaded Garmin mapping 
software (

www.garmin.com

). Memory cards can be used to store files such as maps and custom POIs.

Formatting the Dash Cam Memory Card

The dash cam requires a memory card formatted using the FAT32 file system. You can use the device to format 
your card using this file system.
You should format your memory card at least once every 6 months to help extend the useful life of the memory 
card. You must also format a brand new memory card if it is not formatted using the FAT32 file system.
NOTE: formatting the memory card deletes all data on the card.
Select   > Gallery.
Select   > Format Memory Card.

Connecting the Device to Your Computer

You can connect the device to your computer using a USB cable.
Plug the small end of the USB cable into the port on the device.
Plug the larger end of the USB cable into a port on your computer.
From your Garmin device, select Tap to Connect to Computer.
When your Garmin device prompts you to enter file transfer mode, select Continue.
A picture of your device connected to a computer appears on the device screen.
Depending on your computer operating system, the device appears as either a portable device, a removable 
drive, or a removable volume.
