How to install T4A GPS Maps

Option 1: Plug & Play SD Card

T4A GPS Maps are distributed on a

Plug & Play SD card. This is an SD

card with T4A GPS Maps preloaded

and ready to use in your

compatible Garmin GPS.

Compatible units are: Nuvi,

Montana, eTrex, Dakota, Zumo,

Colorado, Oregon and some of the

newer ‘x’ range units, e.g. 60csx as

well as the GPSMap62 and 78

series of recreational units.

Size matters, so we have changed

the cover to a different size, same

as a standard CD. We would like to hear your thoughts about our new SD Card

cover design. Please send your feedback (good or bad) to

[email protected]


Step 1: Insert SD Card

• Switch off your GPS, remove any existing SD cards (keep in safe place)

• Insert the T4A GPS Maps SD card. Use either the Micro SD or the Micro

SD plus Standard adapter depending on what type of SD card reader you

have on your GPS

Step 2: Select T4A GPS Maps

• Switch on your GPS, browse to MapInfo on your menu and ensure that

T4A GPS Maps are switched on. For Nuvi and Zumo units, this can be

found by clicking on the ‘spanner’ (Tools). Then select Settings>Map &

Vehicle>myMaps to get to the screen where map selection is made

• If you have any previous versions of T4A GPS Maps installed on your GPS’s

internal memory you will need to remove the maps.

Option 2: Load from your computer

For older GPS units which do not accept a Plug & Play SD card, you will need to

install T4A GPS Maps on your computer and transfer the maps to your GPS,

using Garmin MapSource. These are all applications provided by Garmin.

If you have a GPS which was manufactured in 2011 or later then you are advised

to use the latest version of Garmin BaseCamp and MapInstall to transfer

waypoints and maps from your PC to your GPS.

Examples of older units that do not use an SD card are 276c, 76c and 60c.

you select the destination where you want to send the maps. Click on Continue and select the maps you

want to send:

If you are using a newer device, click on CUSTOMIZE to select the map(s) you want to send to your
