Formatted SD Card

I removed and formatted my SD Card then reinserted it back into my Garmin GPSMAP 62S. Now when I try to use the GPS it is not showing any maps and if I connect to BASECAMP it days there is no device. It only shows the SD card as GARMIN as I renamed it that as when I formatted it, it was just showing as a drive labelled R

Is there anyway of factory resetting the GPS so it is back to how it was when I took it out of the box. I am in Western Australia

Forgot to say I dont have any maps showing in the map section, just a blank screen when I go to SELECT MAP

When you format an SD card, you remove all the data. If there were maps on it, they are gone. Cards for Garmin GPS units must be formatted as FAT32. Not exFAT, which might be the default for some card sizes on some platforms.

There are no English-language forums for non-iR handhelds. You can try the German forums, or perhaps the Groundspeak forums.
