Chapter 4: Secure Digital (SD) Cards
4.1 Secure Digital (SD) Cards
The SD card slot on your Magellan RoadMate employs what is called a “push-push” method of locking and releasing. In
other words, when you insert the card you must push it to lock it in, and to release it you must push it also.
Your Magellan RoadMate comes with a pre-installed regional SD Card (see “Regional SD Card Coverage” on page 9). You
should not need to remove or exchange this card except when additional geographical coverage is required. Please visit our
website at www.magellanGPS.com to purchase additional regional SD Cards.
Make sure the unit is off.
“Hot-Swapping” or changing cards with the power on is not supported and may damage the unit
and the SD card.

1. Peel back the rubber gasket to expose the SD card slot. Do not
completely remove the rubber gasket.
Do not attempt to pull the card out of the slot at this point.
2. Push the SD card into the slot as before until you hear a click.
