SD cards let you store additional data for use with a GPS device.
According to the SD Association, SD technology is the de facto industry standard for many types of consumer electronic devices, including GPS systems and digital cameras. Measuring only 24mm x 32 mm x 2.1mm, the SD card provides a convenient solution for portable data storage. In a GPS device, the SD card mainly serves to provide maps. Some manufacturers sell SD cards that have been pre-loaded with maps. The SD card can also save multimedia files such as music and pictures.
Instructions
1. Insert the SD card into your computer's SD card reader. If your computer doesn't have one, use an external USB SD card reader instead.
2. Open the SD card drive from your desktop or from a list of drives.
3. Locate the map or other files on your computer's hard disk that you want to store in the SD card.
4. Click and drag the file you want to the SD card drive window.
5. Remove the SD card from your computer.
6. Insert the SD card into the GPS device's SD card slot. If you are using a pre-loaded SD card, you can skip all previous steps.
7. Follow the prompts on your GPS device to access the content on your SD card.
