Q&A

I have multiple Garmin GPS units. Can I use my backroad maps on all the devices with a single license?: Hi Grant, our maps are available in two formats: as a microSD card or a Digital-Only License. The microSD card version (offered in three sizes for additional storage) will work best for you, as it allows you to transfer between all your devices. The only limitation is that you cannot use the maps on multiple devices simultaneously. With the Digital-Only License, the maps are restricted to your device.
