SD card not recognised

My H1i plus does not recognised the SD Card after a reboot. I have to remove and insert it again every time, than the card will be detected.

Does someone has the same issue?

Indeed, with the Extreme card the GPSMAP H1 didn’t recognize the card after power on, but only after removing and re-inserting the card with the unit powered on. The other card is recognized right on power…

Garmin do share requirements for the SD cards (as in any card up to 1TB should work), it’s just that the software engineers they outsource development to don’t know how to properly implement and test those…

I had the same with a 128GB Sandisk Extreme microSDXC card. It seems the H1 / H1i Plus is very picky with SD cards because a 128GB Sandisk High Endurance microSDXC works fine.

Garmin specifies that for the H1 series there are no specific requirements for micro SD cards (see https://support.garmin.com/nl-NL/?faq=Le2wG8Ke4p2MK2Ww5IGyK8), but apparently that’s not the case…

Interesting... I tried the Sandisk Extreme 256 microSDXC and a old Samsung Evo 32GB... When you switch off and turn on your H1 does the Endurance microSDXC also get recognized automatically?

the same pattern... It's annoying that Garmin doesn't share any requirements for the SD card... then I will buy an Endurance SD-Card. I think I'll be dead by the time the software bug is fixed
