Garmin Card Reader
Does anyone have a Garmin Card Reader lying around?
I need to do an update on the GPSMAP 3210 on my "new" boat but I don't have a reader or a cable...but there are 2 cards in the unit I figure will work for the update.

did they use a microSD card?
It s going to be tough to find one small enough. That model probably maxes out at 256MB or 512MB. You can't buy one under 32GB now... I needed one under 2GB for my Lowrance. Tried partitioning a 32GB down to 2GB but it still didn't work.

No, it's the Garmin data card, which I have 2 of, just no way to put the update on the card to get the update into the unit.

RMB, i had to go on the hull truth and ask for help on the electronics section. a member in south fl uploaded the update, mailed it to me, i installed it and sent it back. if the data cards u have are map cards, u cant use them, has to be a blank card. also takes a 32mb card, the 16 is not big enough.
at one time u could contact garmin, they would do the same thing. not sure if they still do or not. also was told u need windows xp or earlier. i'm not a computer guy, so might be another way. u can find the cards and reader on ebay every now and them.

Randleman,
I'll look tomorrow to see if I have what you are looking for. I did have a 3210 at one time and think I remember updating it. I'll have to see if I still have the card reader thingy.

Thanks for the replies/info guys.
One of the cards I have is a map but the other doesn't say anything on it so it may be just a card. It says in the owners manual that you can get an update card from Garmin, I will have to ask them if it's still available...the last time an update was put out for it was 2013. I appreciate you looking Inaforty.

Thanks for looking IAF.
I will let you know Skunk, I have an email in to Garmin to see if they still loan out update cards.

Well according to Garmin, they no longer loan out update cards as people stopped sending them back. I guess the cards got more valuable than the deposit...
I am going to try contacting the guy on THT who has helped people out with the update to see if he is still able.
