Garmin card format


Recommended Posts

I have a Legend Cx. I was loading a map into the unit from my laptop by USB cable, and decided to abort the loading. It appears this was a major goof. Now the unit won't boot up with the SD Memory card installed. I have probably corrupted the card. The unit boots up and works fine without the card. Is there some trick to re-formatting the card or is it fried? Any ideas anyone?

 

Thanks.

I would try a card reader, since its a dumb device that shouldn't lockup. Is there any way you could put the unit into USB mass storage mode and try to format the card that way?

BINGO! I put it into USB Mass storage and re-downloaded. It is all back to normal now. Thank you very much! I owe you one.
