SD Card and Garmin Nuvi issue

Former Member

I am getting ready to visit Ireland, so I ordered an SD Card with Europe and Ireland for my Garmin Nuvi 260W.

To get my Nuvi ready, I just tried to update my map with my Lifetime Maps subscription, and it said I did not have enough room, and that I needed 3 Gig more. I installed a blank 32 Gig SD card (that I also just purchased) and restarted the North America Map update using Garmin Express.

Now is giving me a message that it sees the SD card and it will install Full Coverage of North America directly to the SD card. It also is giving me a warning that says: Critical files are going to be loaded to the memory card, so it must remain in my device at all times. If the card is removed, your device will not work.

So does that mean the Europe and Ireland SD card that I just purchased will not work, since I would need to remove the SD Card with North America and critical files installed on it?

Or will the Europe and Ireland SD card work, but only show that map?
