Customer Question

My husband bought a tiny scandisk from a vendor at a coon club meeting and was told he would be able to download a map for the area in which he will be hunting. He is wanting something that will show roads, waterways, pipeline, right of ways, etc. I am not very computer literate but if this is possible, I'm willing to try.

Ridgerunnerras :

Hello I would like to help you.

Ridgerunnerras :

I think I will need a little bit more information from you. It is possible to put maps on a external SD card and load them into your GPS. A lot depends on what brand of GPS you have and if the maps were installed on the external in the proper format for your particular GPS.

Ridgerunnerras :

What kind of GPS do you have?

Ridgerunnerras :

are the maps supposed to be on the external card that you got?

Ridgerunnerras :

If there are not already on the card where was your husband supposed to get them from?

Customer :

He has and Astro 220. The card is balank and he was told we could download the information from the internet.

Ridgerunnerras :

Okay you can tell your husband that he can go to the Garmin web here https://my.garmin.com/maps/chooseDeviceType.htm?#

Ridgerunnerras :

click on

Ridgerunnerras :

Other

Ridgerunnerras :

And when he gets there it will install a Garmin update application to the computer. And this will allow him to update his device.

Ridgerunnerras :

Once he has gone to the update procedure as you may get a free upgrade of maps already by doing what I said above. He can then go to this section of the Garmin site to purchase the maps he needs for the area he will be hunting. https://buy.garmin.com/shop/buymaps.do

Ridgerunnerras :

I hope this helps you. please let me know if I can help you further
