Garmin 1490 LMT says no more disk space. How do I add space?

You need to purchase a Mini SD card. You can get them under $20 depending on size.I really don't understand why Garmin did not provide enough space for a standard load with the initial purchase.

You will need to buy a micro-sd memory card. It inserts into the slot on the side of the unit.

You have to buy the micro chip card in order to have enough space to do any updates on the unit.

There is a slot on the side of the gps for micro sd card. You need to purchase a 4 GB, or above micro sd card, insert it, and use that as the space location for dowloading or updating maps. The software from garmin automatically will detect the sd card once you put it in to the gps. But, keep in mind all maps will permanently be stored on the sd card and you can not take out the sd card after that, otherwise the gps will not work. The process is very simple and I have done the same thing myself.

The "maps" feature can be updated regularly by hooking it up to a computer and downloading the new map information. It appears that the memory inside the GPS does not have enough storage capacity for all of the map updates. At least that is what this person is saying was his/her experience. I haven't tried to update any maps yet, so I can't verify the Garmin's storage capacity. I can't imagine that it wouldn't have enough for at least one or two updates, but I have no personal knowledge.

Yes Wojciech Jablonka, I wrote that more than a year ago. I´ve just downloaded the last firmware version and now is possible to use 4Gb micro sd-card.About the limit of img files. I really agree that in just one trip you will not need all of these maps, so that´s not really a problem. Brazil is a Continental country and all the maps that I need has more or less 200 Mb. If you go to Europe and for example use the City Navigator Europe from Garmin you will need 1,5Gb. So, 4Gb is more than enough for 99% of people who uses GPSs.

I have contacted Garmin and they tell me the same in regards to the 4 gig card compatibility: the newest software upgrade will make any garmin 60 csx able to use a 4 gig card. Mike O.

When selected in "My Computer" it only shows 7.96 GB free. Apparently you'll need to utilize some sort of file compression or leave something out.

I have less space and exactly the same situation. The unit has functioned perfectly since I installed it five months ago.

geez you all are so ignorant. the actual space is 64GB but a filesystem is needed to keep track of the files on the disk. how else do you expect it to work without a filesystem?

Right now I have on one of mine, 13.9GB of total usable space (the other 2.1BG takes up the operating system). I currently have 4.35GB of free space left open. The other part is filled up with the following content: That includes 113 full albums averaging between 6 to 15 songs per album using 4.40GB of space and 59 music videos that is using 5.12GB of the storage space. The music videos are assorted sizes form 3.10MB to 177MB. I am always adding and removing songs and videos depending upon what style of music I'm into at the time. It's all drag and drop when you sync it to the player in your pc so moving things around is easy. I always try to leave at least 1 or more GB of free space open so that the music videos don't get jerky. I own more than one of these and it's really more about having not running out of battery before I can get back to recharge. Music uses a lot less battery, but the videos can wear down the battery pretty fast. These are small and very portable and I use them plugged into the car stereo for road trip music playlists and while waiting around in long lines, etc. at sci-fi conventions where it's not easy to get back to the room to recharge. Probably TMI but I hope this helps you in some way!

There was a little paper thing that came with your Garmin GPS 1450. It's called a "manual" and if you read it, you will learn the requirements for the device. That being said, I'd buy an eight or sixteen gig for your maps, if you don't want to take the time to see what is compatible.

Yes, I have not used it but when I install a CD it indicates space is available. Also is a lightscribe.

Mine is not working properly. when I save files over 128GB. The files disappear and I have only empty folders even though the drive shows that the space is being used. It is a waste of money.

Yes, I had to insert a ScanDisc in Garmin Nuvi when I last updated the maps and I happen to have a 32GB ScanDisc and it worked very well.

I noticed that the hard disk sizes were somewhat different as I looked at different systems. I chose one with a 750 gig hard disk. Plenty of free space.

In BaseCamp there is an option to load maps to SD card, which I recommend. 32 gb SD card can hold a lot of maps, tracks and routes. If you buy Garmin maps, get the DVDs. They are unlocked (can be used on any Garmin device).

Beware! I just tried to upgrade my free maps and Garmin's software download said I did not have enough space on the 1450. The only thing on it is their software! I had to choose a part of the country to load and not the complete US. The other option was to buy a microSD card. Plus the unit now loads slower and takes forever to do a calculation for a destination (i.e., 4x longer). I wish I could go back to the original map load but apparently you can't.

Follow the following steps: 1- Install the Garmin App on your PC; 2- Connect your GPS to your PC through the USB Port; 3- Format the Drive; 4- Reinstall the Maps. You may need to insert an SD card in your GPS SD slot, if the map size is too large. That should do the trick. Your device would be updated to its latest version as well as the maps. Good Luck!
