Maximum SD Card Size for 1490LMT?

 

Can I use a 8GB SD card on my Garmin 1490LMT? I am trying to use one to load pictures onto view, but when I try to do the slide show the GPS goes into neverland or is turning itself off.

What is the largest Secure Digital (SD) card that my nuvi, zumo, or StreetPilot can accept?

As long as the unit has the latest version of software, your unit can use the following maximum card size from the table below. You can use the WebUpdater program at the following link to download the latest unit software version: http://www8.garmin.com/products/webupdater/howtoinstall.jsp

Unit Series Maximum Size of SD Card

nuvi series 16GB
zumo 400 and 500 4GB
zumo 220 and 600 16GB
StreetPilot c500 4GB
StreetPilot c300* 2GB
StreetPilot i-Series* 2GB
StreetPilot 7200 / 7500 2GB

Depending on the model of your unit, it may use either a full size SD card or a microSD card. If you are not sure which your unit requires, please refer to its documentation. When using a card with a larger capacity and when the files on the card are large in number and/or size, the unit's ability to draw mapping may be slowed.

If you have an OEM dealer device, please refer to the series above that fits your device.

*Note: StreetPilot c300 and i-Series units do not currently support the SDHC (High Capacity) cards.
