Great pic SergZak, the location is the same as my Nuvi 2460. @Newto Make certain you have a Micro SD card, obviously a standard one would never fit in that slot. The way my card is inserted is to insert the side with the 8 copper contact pins facing you while looking at the LCD screen. Push gently until it locks in place, DO NOT FORCE. The slot on the side of the nuvi is used for a Secure Digital (SD) card. The SD card is a commonly used memory card format. These memory cards come in various sizes and are usually sold as either a microSD or regular SD cards. Regular SD cards are larger and microSD cards are much smaller.

Hello to All!
I am trying to help my Dad with his new GPS. We could not find SD or Micro SD card slot on his Nuvi 40LM.
The manual book is rubbish as it does not show where it is.
Could a kind soul here take a photo of their Nuvi 40LM to show us where the slot is?
I know it is on the left side of the GPS but I do not see the slot?
Many thanks for your help in advance,
Rob

Does Garmin Nuvi 50 Have Sd Card Slot

  • I downloaded the manual for the nuvi 30/40/50 and could not find where the SD Card slot was either. Simply brilliant, Garmin! Here is the link to the manual:
    http://static.garmincdn.com/pumac/nuvi_30_40_50_EN_OM.pdf
    Going by the picture on page 2 of the above manual, it seems likely it is where the 6 (contained in a circle) is pictured on the photo on the left side of the page.
    So looking straight on at the unit's screen, it would appear to be on the bottom-left side of the case as you've mentioned. Remember, this is likely a microSD slot so it will be small.
    EDIT:
    Have a look at the following picture (copy & paste the link into your browser's address bar):

    It appears that the slot is where I indicated above. I'm pretty sure the contacts on the card go into the unit first. The other orientation (label side up or down) is up to you to figure out. The card will only go in one way so don't force it in. The card should also 'click' into place.

    Your Nuvi 40LM may use a different insertion method so be careful when inserting. Another important piece of infomation missing from the Garmin Manual.

Question: What is the slot on the side of the nuvi used for?

Answer:
The slot on the side of the nuvi is used for a Secure Digital (SD) card. The SD card is a commonly used memory card format. These memory cards come in various sizes and are usually sold as either a microSD or regular SD cards. Regular SD cards are larger and microSD cards are much smaller. These generally come with a regular SD adapter so you can use the microSD card in devices/card readers that only accept the regular SD card type.

Depending on the device that you own, the nuvi may use either one of these SD card sizes. SD cards can be used to store files such as MP3 audio files, JPEG picture files,2 or supplemental mapping. All nuvi models will support SD cards up to 8GB in size.
