Nuvi 40LM Map Updates

I see there is a map update via Garmin Express for my Nuvi. I try to install & get a message stating I need a SD card to install the lower 48- United States maps. I don't want to fool with an SD card & then try to get it to work correctly. I had seen in the past, I believe, on the Garmin Express App that I could install a map region of the United States. I have not seen this lately as I need only the South Eastern States. Any help on this or a possible workaround is highly appreciated.

P.S. I have, in the past updated this navigator successfully using same personal computer with Garmin Express

  • You can use Express to install the map to your PC and then use BaseCamp or MapInstall to install a portion of the map to your nuvi. Not sure though why you're averse to using a sd card, as with one installed you don't have to do anything to get it to work correctly, it'll just work.

  • I agree with SUSSAMB, just get the card.  The device supports microSD memory cards from 4 to 32 GB.  A SanDisk - Ultra PLUS 32GB microSD HC UHS-I Memory Card is $12 at Best Buy.  Don't get anything bigger than 32GB.
