Garmin Express PC for nuvi 3597 doesn't recognize SD card but MapInstall does

Former Member over 7 years ago

I cannot get my new 2018 NA maps to load into my 3597 since Garmin Express doesn't recognize the SD card that's installed. I keep getting an error for not enough storage on the 3597, advising me to insert an SD card. However, the old MapInstaller DOES show the nuvi 3597 with an SD card installed. I'm assuming this is a problem with the Garmin Express software.

Can I use the old MapInstaller to load my maps into the 3597? when I try to use it, it says there no unlocked maps available. I'm assuming that I can download my map update, but neither Garmin Express (in its tools section) nor MapInstall allow me to download the maps.

Thanks for any help.

Cloning might be a solution. I always use cloning on my 3597 to update maps directly on a SD card, so it is worth a try. Just Google "Garmin Maps Cloning Method".

Very true but not sure he's that fussed.
