Very helpful and makes sense.  I switched to a 16GB and everything moved over fine and is opening.  Thank you for your help.

GPSr Units / Cannot See GPSFileDepot Maps on Etrex 20X
December 08, 2015, 07:18:48 AM
I am extremely new to Garmin Etrex 20X and possibly overlooking something simply.

I downloaded three maps from GPSFileDepot (DesertSouthwest, My Trails, NCTOPO11) to Basecamp and can see them and use them totally as expected within the PC format.

I placed a new, 64Gb, PNY, microSD, formatted in ExFat in the GPS unit and did a standard install according to GPSFileDepot directions.  Everything worked exactly as expected.

I can see the files on the SD card (in Mass Data mode) under removeabledisc/Garmin/ . .  . and they are saved as Disc Image Files.

When I go to the unit and look to "enable" the maps, however, they do not show up on the list (only the maps on the internal drive show up).

Earlier, I put those same maps on the internal drive (prior to buying an SDmicro) and they worked without any problem on the unit (from the internal drive).

I switched the micro SD card to a purchased Garmin map system, and the map on that Garmin system shows up on the map list, can be enabled, can be used on the unit.

What am I doing wrong?  Is it possible that the formatting (ExFAT vs. FAT32) or size of the SD card is too large?

Any assistance would be appreciated.
