3/21/2023 0 Comments Garmin poi loader wont install![]() ![]() This applies to Garmin Drivesmart 60 LMT(brand new unit) and not sure if it applies to other models. I don't think it is true that when Garmin express detects it needs more space to install additional items it will automatically install it to an external micro sd card even though it doesn't see it. This is part 2 of my post with regards to Garmin Express not detecting or recognizing an external micro sd card. Garmin Express not detecting micro sd card part 2 As it is today there is no way of knowing if a brand new garmin GPS can read a brand new micro sd. I guess this is really confusing as I initially interpreted this as adefect on the GPS device and hopefully in future updates Garmin express will report both external and internal storage so people will know micro SD port on the GPS device is working. So today I chatted with a garmin customer support and he told me that Garmin express will not report the external micro SD card but if in future updates if Garmin Express detects it needs more space then it will automatically use the external micro SD card. I was pretty determined to return it today as my reason to buy a new one was my old GPS (different brand with lifetime map support) has run out of space and if this new GPS is reporting 93% full but if Garmin express doesn't see it then main reason of buying a new one is useless. ![]() I also tried the same process using both desktop and laptop but to no avail. Windows(win 10) explorer is showing both the Garmin internal storage and the 32 Micro Sd card so I'm pretty sure nothing is wrong with my USB connection. It is still doesn't detect it for whatever reason. And yes the micro SD card is formatted to FAT32 and also tried different brand of micro SD(samsung 32GB) taken from my Cell phone just to see if Garmin Express detects it. The exchange GPS did the same thing meaning the external micro SD card is not showing on the Garmin express. ![]() This is confusing as I ended up returning the GPS to best buy for an exchange. So I did and bought a 32GB Sandisk but when I inserted it to the GPS device Garmin express doesn't report it. The device storage is reporting 93% full and it suggests to purchase a memory card. I just bought a Garmin Drivesmart 60LMT over the weekend and after installing all the updates using Garmin Express. ![]()
