13 Best Micro Sd Card For Garmin Nuvi (2022 Updated)

I admit I took the gamble that this updated Garmin City Navigator Australian/NZ maps card would work in a 2013 European car’s Garmin satnav system. I shouldn’t have worried as it turned out – it was compatible (in the case of an Aston Martin system anyway).

While lacking some of the bells and whistles of the factory card (lane assist, junction view, etc), all the essentials, such as spoken voice directions for turns, street names and roundabout guidance work well.

In addition, features such as Points Of Interest, have been updated along with the current maps. Just remove the old SD card, insert the new one, turn the satnav on and follow the prompts to activate the new maps.

Please note: If, after turning the satnav off and back on again, the screen displays a “No Maps” message or similar, don’t stress. Leave the satnav on, then simply remove and then reinsert the card. You should find that the system will now function correctly from then on (no idea why, but it worked for me).

Updating the maps every couple of years will necessitate the purchase of a current City Navigator card from Darren at Sports Watches Australia, however, if you have a Garmin system, I suspect this is a far more reasonably priced option than a visit to the spare parts desk at a car dealership.

I purchased the Navigator Europe MicroSD card in 2018 for a trip to western Ukraine using my Garmin 62ST GPS. I traveled extensively in urban and rural Ukraine and found the maps accurate and current.

It enabled me to use my hard copy travel guide books and locate all the major points of interest in Kyiv; Odessa; L’viv and other larger towns. It was also great in the rural areas and the Carpathian Mountains.

I did a trip to my grandparents ancestral village and was able to record the GPS tracks for later use. The GPS tracks can be opned up in Garmin Basecamp and in Google Earth. Once I was back home in Canada, I used the GPS tracks to review all the places that I went to, and identify buildings and points of interest.

The live time screen can be used to locate banks, restuarants, money exchange and various tourist sites. It gave me the ability to navigate like a native person in the cities and rural areas. I used Ni-MH rechargable batteries exclusively and was able to recharge the AA batteries every evening using the Garmin universal AA charger.

The NiMH batteries were 2450 mA and workd perfect. I highly recommend the Navigator Europe MicroSD card.

I bought this Garmin City Navigator Europe Micro SD/SD card to insert in my Garmin DriveSmart 51 GPS in preparation for a five week driving trip from Venice into Slovenia and all around Slovenia. Rather than rely on a GPS (if any) that might come with the rental car, which I would not be familiar with, might not be trustworthy and which would probably be set to another language, I like to take my own.

The Europe map in the card was very accurate and with a surprising amount of detail. Surprising because it covers most of Europe. It got me out of Venice and through some remote areas of Slovenia with no navigational problems.

I became very comfortable relying on it. I am very pleased with this purchase.

I bought the MapSource City Navigator NT South America Micro SD card for my Garmin 1490 GPS to take on a trip to Costa Rica. The card covers Central and South America. When we got the card, we didn’t realize that the microSD card was inside the larger SD adapter, so we were trying to figure out how to put it in the GPS.

Make sure to read the directions! Item 1 says to remove the microSD card inside of the adapter. The only problem we had was that the GPS unit took quite a while to figure out where we were when we first started using it in Costa Rica.

I would suggest you turn on the GPS unit for a while before you have to use it so it can pick up the right satellite data. We drove around in circles in San Jose for about an hour before we finally got headed in the right direction.

Some of the streets in Costa Rica aren’t well marked, so that was another issue, but that wasn’t really the fault of the GPS unit or the software. You might want to carry along a map or get one at the car rental place just to back up the Garmin info.

I’m glad we had the Garmin unit along. It was definitely helpful, and other than the initial problem, it led us in the right direction to many attractions and places we wanted to see in Costa Rica.

A word of caution. The part number (010-10691-00) alone isn’t enough to tell you it will work with your Garmin device even though their website says that part number is supported. Garmin continually updates the software without changing the part number and sometimes older software won’t work with the new device.

I bought an older version of maps (about 2012) that would not work with my Garmin purchased in 2014 but worked with my 2008 Garmin. I had to get a newer version (still the same part number) to get it to work.

IMHO, this is bad engineering on Garmin’s part as they should change part numbers when they make software changes that affect the function of the the map.

Trails and sites on the 24k Topo map appear limited to USGS and does not include BLM land. If you create routes for BLM trails, you need to disable the 24k map on the GPS so the GPS will show other trails in the vicinity of your route.

When creating routes in Basecamp for Yosemite, I find myself switching between the 24k and the TopoActive America map that comes preinstalled. I will keep it, but if I only had $100 to spend it would not be on the 24k map.

Works fine in Oregon 650T with topo lines and roads. I visited 2 parks in Idaho this October – Bruneau Dunes Idaho state park and City of Rocks National Reserve. Both are popular places – especially City of Rocks internationally renown for rock climbers.

Both have a trail system with signposts and good trail layout. I could not find a single trail in either of these 2 parks on this map file. It did have some of the major rock formation names in City of Rocks, and road routing did work.

It may have trails in some regions- but so far I have not found them. Compared to other regional maps I have purchased, the trail coverage for this map is not as good. (and perhaps poor).

I’m keeping the basemaps on my Garmin simple. Tracts of Forested areas get logged or burned off, property ownership changes, etc. The couple of Birdseye satellite images I downloaded for areas of Michigan’s UP were horribly out of date.

And overlaying topo contours on aerial images is not as visible as an old USGS Quad style map. For out hunting out west, I want to clearly see steep ridges, saddles, etc. so 24K Topo maps fit the bill for me.

and they are about 1/4th the price of Garmin’s OnX maps.

Pros: Ones you buy you never see it. 🙂 but is there 🙂 Cons: Not breakable. If you used for design prupose. 🙂

Pros: Appears to be working well with a Nextbase dash cam.

Pros: None Cons: Not high speed,

Since Garmin has discontinued Birds Eye, this is the only way to upload satellite images into my 2 year old GPS. The picture image quality is absolute junk compared to Birds Eye. at almost $90 a state!!! Plus, you have to upload the entire state, eating up your SD card.

My GPSMAP 64sx just became a VERY expensive paperweight.

This is a great tool for preparing to hunt out west All of the details of the land is remarkable. Would highly recommend its use. Im heading to Montana on an elk hunt and learning everything I can about the area before I get there is a definite game changer.

Works great on my Garmin GPS also.

Works good to see the property lines and more detailed contours google earth.

Pros: Was exactly what I needed for my trail camera and has been reliable outside in various temperatures and weathers. Cons: No. it does what it says on the packet, a bit fiddly to remove from the adapter but ok with tweezers.

Pros: None Cons: Supposedly fastest variant available, yet failed speed tests for a raspberry pi zero.Waste of money.

Pros: Good price. Cons: As is common with many cards the advertised read speed is no where near the write, and it’s that that is critical for photography. Nothing wrong with card, just not what I needed.

This item was just what I needed. Worked perfect and for le$$

The micro sd cards are fine but the adapter is flimsy and fell apart on one of them and the anti lock fell out of the other otherwise they work ok in a better quality adapter which i happen to have.

The package says 80 MB (Megabytes) per second. That is about right for read speed. However, read speed is frankly a bad basis for comparison because the thing that matters is write speed, which can be a 10th of the speed.

This card acheived 11 MegaBytes / second writing a huge folder of photos from my PC to the card, using my smartphone as the card reader. So for a 11GB folder, you are looking at about 20 minutes to get it onto the SD card.

Filling the card with data could take 2 hours. So beleive me when I say, you do not want to try transfering files onto a cheaper SD card. The SanDisk Ultra range are the minimum speed I will buy. This speed bottle neck explains why solid state hard disks (like in your laptop or PC) are more expensive per GB of storage.

What would take 2 hours to copy onto the SD card, could be done in 8 minutes on a high performance Hard Drive. That said, I am happy with the value for money. No one wants to spend a lot on something tiny enough to be swallowed without noticing!.

This mini sd card came a lot earlier than expected. But as i have heard scare stories about ebay memory cards i took the extra few days to fully load it up and make sure it did the job i purchased it for and made sure the price i paid was at least comparable with nigh street prices.

I have precicely half a gig left in it so its safe to say it does store the amount it says on the package. I havent tested its specific claims as to whether it dors genuinely have a class 10 read/write speed but it does play downloaded games and movies on my psp with zero issues so so far so im willing to acdept it does have the nessesary speeds.

Bow it stands up to multiple file deletions and reformats is anyones guess but time will tell and im sattisfied enough for now to write a glowing review Ill deffo purchase this product again as im going to double my storage with a duel tf card.

Great value for money and as far as my knowledge of sd cards goes its the genuine article.

Cheap, genuine. Few problems I had, I realised that the mp3 player I was using the card in conjunction with was struggling with the huge amount of songs I installed. Player is compatible with card storage space, I just think the issue was the number of individual files.

But card works fine. once I established file limit player could deal with,.

What can I say, it works exactly as advertised and was a good price. Plenty fast enough for my needs (additional storage for my mp3 player). I trust the San Disk brand, which is why 90+% of my memory cards for cameras, phones, etc.

are San Disk.

I needed a microSDHC card for map stogarge on my Garmen Nuvi. I selected SanDisk due to its reputation of high quality/excellence and I have never been disappointed.

I use it in a small bluetooth speaker. Amazing. Durable, large capacity for audio,

TranslateShow in original languageAucuns problèmes, Attention toutefois à celui qui achète ce produit, la carte totale de la France est en deux parties Nord et Sud. Il y a deux fichiers images de Garmin.

TranslateShow in original languageJe doutais, mais je suis très satisfaite de mon achat. Les détails sont vraiment d’une aide pratique. L’échelle au 1/25000 est telle la carte papier (les deux sont utiles).

On insère la Micro SD on l’installe sur son gps et on est prêt pour parcourir la France, ce que je vais faire dans les mois à venir. Je ne regrette pas mon achat et je recommanderai ce produit autour de moi.

TranslateShow in original languagePas de notice d’installation, Garmin ne fait toujours aucun effort, au niveau explication et langue. La cartographie ne fonctionne pas correctement avec mon PC. A voir sur mon GPS.
