Nav V memory card not recognised

[Khulu]

I've just registered and downloaded (for 4 hours!) all the european map updates and it told me my Nav V was 99.99% full and suggested I fit a memory card.
I already have a brand new 64GB SXDC card in so I've obviously not done something I should have. What do you experts suggest I've missed?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
have you formatted the card in the Nav V, that may help.
good luck.

Can you use a 64gb card in it?

I've just this minute found out how to format it in my pc. It's come out as a 32GB so I'll now put it into my Nav V. I used the same card spec. in August when I put one in a new Drift ghost camera and didn't have to format it so I assumed, wrongly, it'd be the same. Hope this works. I should have just bought a 32GB card!
Thanks for the answers.

I've put the "formatted" card back into my Nav V and it's not being found! How do you format it in the Nav V?

Hi just looked on the Nav and it says that the sd card must be formatted to FAT32 I think I did mine on a laptop before putting it into the Nav V.

Mine does the same but it is really there, it is just Garmin's crap software that doesn't show that it's present.

Went to Tesco last night and bought their last 32GB card. I've just put it into my Nav V, hooked it to my pc and it's been found automatically! S***, something worked easily! Now just to learn all the Basecamp hard stuff, etc. Thanks for the replies.

The golden rule if a micro card doesn't work in any GPS device is simply to go and buy another one and insert it, fresh out of the blister pack. They are so cheap and it cuts out all the possible other errors bods create trying to format (or not) some old card that they've pulled out of their wife's camera.

Golden rule two, lose the fascination with huge cards. Big is very often, not beautiful.

Happy Christmas, everyone.
