Switching from Internal Memory to microSD

 

I recently updated my 3590LM and did not have enough internal memory to do a complete install. I have since purchased a 8 GB microSD card and can't seem to find a way to install/transfer all the maps to the SD card.

Thanks in advance

Check the "Learn" tab. Lots of FAQ's there.

Hmm

Hmm, a 3590 has 8GB of internal storage

so I can only think of two ways your device reports "not enough internal memory" to do a full map update:

1) you also have one or more other very large maps on the device or have loaded the nuvi with lots of images or something, or

2) you tried to update your map using Garmin Express and it incorrectly reported this problem when in fact it is not true.

If a 3590 ever truly runs low on internal storage, Garmin's software should offer a full map update to SD card (but this SD card offer only occurs when there's truly a need for it):

My suggestion is to run the update again using GarminMapUpdater rather than Garmin Express where I suspect you will be offered the full map update to your 3590's internal storage:

PC:

Mac:

Thanks for the responses. I

Thanks for the responses. I did indeed use Garmin Express. Using Map Updater and it appears to have fixed the issue

That's great

Good news. From another thread here, there's worry that GarminMapUpdater may not be offered in the future and that many here are downloading and keeping a copy of GarminMapUpdater on their computer. It may be that GMU may not do map updates in the future, but if it does while not being easily available, having a copy on your computer can't hurt you--and may help you.

GMU

Will have to download and save Garmin Map Updater as soon I will haveto use an SD card for new map updates.

Thanks to POI Factory. Again!
