Garmin Internal Memory Sizes

The number of Junction Views (over 60,000 IIRC) isn't going to change. According to the video linked below, The Junction Views are going to work like this:

Essential: non-photoreal Junction View (full-screen)
Advanced: photoreal Junction View (split-screen)
Prestige: photoreal 3D Junction View (split-screen)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jizdL8S-ZVc&feature=player_em...

The non-photoreal Junction Views will keep the file size down in the Essentials line, but still will not be hassle free. By the time the new line is actually in stores there may not be a great deal of room left for the inevitable first map update.

The Advanced and Prestige models are where GPS enthusiasts will want to place their money. The Essentials series will be for the first-time buyer who is price conscious, not realizing the headaches that are to come.

EDIT: I see someone pointed out the Junction Views already. However, I'm a little more certain than that poster, not just because of the video, but because of the stock photos Garmin provided for each model on their website, which clearly show a full-screen JCV for Essentials units while the other two units get a split-screen photoreal JCV, with or without 3D.

Can you think back and find where you got this 60,000+ number?

At least for the current map (not counting the "rame1012" 750MB jcv file that many of us here manually added), current nuvi models that offer JV and have the latest map update and latest "official" JV files have widely varying numbers of JVs that can be displayed. The 3xxx series I think offers JV for most interchanges while the 8x5 series has extremely few.

I've never seen an official count and for there to be a JV total with the current map, it'd need to be specified which nuvi model is being referred to. At least that's what I've seen and read about.

I'll continue to wonder about the # of JVs in the next map update for each nuvi model until that map comes out and some folks report back on the jcv file size and their nuvi model and state whether or not specific interchanges have or don't have a JV for each nuvi model.

I'm happy to see Garmin now stating that there'll be JV, photo JV and 3D JV images depending on the nuvi model in question, but my real concern is whether the next map update will offer any JVs along some interstates; e.g., I-40 in northern Arizona on a nuvi 855 as an example.

Garmin's own marketing video on Junction View, uploaded late last month to YouTube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuHBhuhdM_M

The video specifically mentions photoreal Junction Views and shows the split-screen capability, but shortly after that mentions that while there isn't a Junction View for every exchange there are over 60,000 in the US and Canada. This video was released the same day the 2012 lineup was announced.

I have submitted this to be a FAQ. When it is available I will redo the lead post with a link to send users to the FAQ to view the sizes but maintain this thread to receive new updates. The FAQ also includes a link to send users back to this thread to add any new sizes not on the list.

For now it is in pretty much the same format on the FAQ so user can quickly find, or not find, their GPS. Any formatting suggestions are welcomed.

My Nuvi 200 is not 1GB but 2GB. I think some of the older versions of it had 1GB.

Thanks!

@JM,

Your fast! Thanks,

2GB internal memory.

Where did you get your avstar? Love it.

The nuvi 2595: 7+ GB from

Does anyone know the internal memory size of the new 2012 Garmin line (2595lmt)?

Does anyone know the internal memory size of the new 2012 Garmin line (2595lmt)?

Does anyone know if there is a limit on the size of a MicroSD card I can put in my new 2350LMT? I was going to get an 8 or 16 Gig if I can. Couldn't find this information in the manual.

Thanks!

16 Meg should be fine. Having multiple large maps does cause a very noticeable boot time increase however.

My 2595LMT has 8GB according to the diag menu.

Thanks for the addition to FAQs!

Is there a Garmin 770? I thought I saw a used one advertised the other day?

The nuvi 770 was like the 760 except it came preinstalled with both North America and Europe maps.

Thank you - It has traffic function too

Someone on another forum told me that his 2555LMT reports 4GB on the diagnostics screen. The list above shows the 25x5 series as having ~7GB, according to Garmin.

Can anyone reconcile those for me? I'm trying to figure out if the 2555LMT has a lot less memory (for maps) than the 2595LMT.

@tahl,

Ask your friend for the specific model number. We have seen different models made for different reasons having different memory sizes. It could be counrty specific or some other feature. So let us know so it can be included in the FAQ.

Thanks

Internal memory is 2GB with 300 Meg remaining,How much additional memory will I need to add to the Garmin to support the US cyclops safety cam POIs ?

Welcome to The Factory. I don't have the answer to your question and hope someone else will be able to help you with it.

But at $26/yr for cyclops and since you're new to the POI Factory, are you aware of the Redlight and Speed Cameras POI file available here? They're available at a small cost or are free to regular visitors to the site.

You can also add custom sounds and icons to the two POI files. For more help on Custom POIs, see:

http://www.poi-factory.com/node/4359

Thanks for the information, I did subscribe and download all the red light and speed cams POIs.

also picked custom icons for the POIs.

Thank You!

It did not take much memory under 2 meg

BTW, I missed welcoming you to the site. Enjoy your time here. There is hugh amounts of information and files to have fun with.

Thanks for the 1100 mem size for the FAQ.

Have fun and ask questions if you get stuck on anything.

nuvi 1490 (EU) 4 GB

7.28 GB

That will be what the drive properties show but I think it's actually 8GB with 7.28GB of useable space. It's exactly the same as my 3790 shows, which has always been considered an 8Gb storage device.

Diagnostic screen reads 8gb (but its really 7.28gb) if I remember right.

Thanks for the info.

The old GB convention, 1000 vs 1024 always throws things off, etc!

Your info will come in handy.

Thanks to CraigW and compman52 for the updated 2455 info.

I still suspect that the info originally received from Garmin Support for the 30/40/50 and 3400 series nuvi's is also inaccurate. Anyone with one these units or any units not on the list please use the DIAG page on your GPS and report the unit model and memory size for the FAQ. Thanks in advance.

I have been very busy anymore but I hope to update and clean up this FAQ a little in the near future.

Thanks to emaasjr, BobHy & t923347 for the 3590 update last September that I missed.

My apologies.

2555LM (NA) 4GB from Diagnostics screen

This is great info... I need to get a SD card for my 265WLT....
