Transferring Files Using an SD Card Reader
If your computer is fitted with an SD card reader, please make sure that the reader is
HCSD compatible. If the reader is not HCSD compatible it will not detect the card.
Insert the SD card from the GPS unit into the slot on the card reader. The operating
system should automatically detect the card.
Open the ‘My Computer Window’; you should now be able to access the SD card in
the card reader in the same way you can access other drives fitted to your
computer.
Create folders to contain any media files that are to be copied to the card.
Care should be taken to ensure that the existing folders on the card are not altered
or deleted as this will affect the operation of the navigation software.
