+kurchian Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 If I purchase a map from Garmin can I install the map on both my Garmin GPSr and my Garmin Nuvi? My Garmin GPSs Oregon 450t takes a micro SD card. I am curious as to whether I could make a copy of it and install the cards in both devices so I can use them at the same time.

+Viajero Perdido Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Unlikely. Most Garmin maps are copy-protected. Consider OpenStreetMap. Quote Link to comment
+BlackRose67 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I have a Nuvi with lifetime map updates, and I am not able to install the maps on my other Garmin handheld GPS units. Quote Link to comment
+BAMBOOZLE Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 If you buy the map on a mini-SD card you could use it in both but not at the same time. Quote Link to comment
