How to load maps directly to an SD card during a map update
The most recent versions of the Garmin Map Updater for Onetime updates and the Garmin Lifetime Updater
now offer the ability to install mapping to an SD card if your device does not have enough space to fit the
maps in the internal memory.
The SD card installation option will only appear when you are updating a compatible device that does not
have sufficient internal space for the selected map region. When notified that the device doesn't have
sufficient space, you may either install mapping to an SD card or view additional installation options. At this
point the application will indicate how much free space will be required to install the selected region on an SD
card.
