Step 1: How to insert the SD Card
• Switch off your GPS, remove any existing SD cards (keep in safe place)
• Insert the T4A GPS Maps SD card. Use either the Micro SD or the Micro
SD plus Standard adapter depending on what type of SD card reader you
have on your GPS
Step 2: Select T4A GPS Maps
• Switch on your GPS, browse to MapInfo on your menu and ensure that
T4A GPS Maps are switched on. For Nuvi and Zumo units, this can be
found by clicking on the ‘spanner’ (Tools). Then select
Settings>Map>MapInfo to get to the screen where map selection is made.
(refer to page 21 for newer GPS units)
• If you have any previous versions of T4A GPS Maps installed on your GPS’s
internal memory / SD Card you will need to remove the maps by
exploring the GPS unit / SD Card on your PC / Mac and deleting the T4A
maps. (This is only applicable to newer gps units).
Option 2: Load from your computer
For older GPS units which do not accept a Plug & Play SD card, you will need to
install T4A GPS Maps on your computer and transfer the maps to your GPS,
using MapSource, BaseCamp or MapInstall. These are all applications provided
by Garmin.
If you have a GPS which was manufactured in 2011 or later then you are advised
to use the latest version of MapInstall to transfer maps from your Mac or PC to
your GPS.
Examples of older units that do not use an SD card are 276c, 76c and 60c.
