My SD card never had a problem. Check if you are using a card of higher capacity that may not be compatible. I think I am using 32 GB or 64 GB. Both should be fine. But try using 32 if 64 does not work. My only problem is battery. If the camera is not connected to 12V, it goes off in 1 or 2 minutes. Otherwise it is really nice. One more problem is that it makes large files.

Well a class 10 is the best for view streaming video for that camera if you don't have anything important on that card try formating a see what happens if all else fails buy a class 10 you wilsee the difference

Is your card new? Is your card a class 10 sometimes the card just caps out.try your card in another unit/ reg camera or laptop.

If you have not formatted the card, try doing so on your PC. If every card that you put into it has a card error message, it might be the camera.

I have had the same problem with a 512Mb Sandisk micro SD. I'm using a usb card reader. At first it kept giving me an error that it could not read it. Now it won't even show up on my computer (Mac powerbook) Any luck finding a solution?

I don't know. My first guess would be: Is the card firmly in the slot? Is the card any good? Is the card locked? (Little tab thingie on the side.) Can you read the card on your or any other computer? Are you feeding the pictures picture side up? Have you plugged in a usb cable and seen if it even scans? Does the unit even power up as per the instruction sheet?

Might try a different, smaller memory card - if the problem happens with a different, smaller card, then there is probably something wrong with the device. Their customer service is pretty good so I would return for a new one.If it works fine with a different memory card but continues to fail with your 32Gb card, then there is something wrong with that card - try to format it and/or clear all the data off of it.

Hello, I had no problem. I didn't even format it. I just put it in and it worked. Are you sure it's the right card for your camera. Maybe you should return it and try a new one. It may be defective, or call the manufacturer customer service.

It works fine with my 16 Gb micro SD. But, I'm headed to the store. I'll try to pick up a larger capacity card and let you know what happens.-Dan

Sorry I never put an SD card in mine. Only way I can think of is to take the SD out and put it into an card reader. Or keep looking in the menu.

Did you try doing a format? It could be it can't read your card until you format it for the camera.

Hi JasonThanks for your help, but in my case it did not work. The computer disk management shows the SD Card, but reports that there is no media. Therefore there is no option to format the card. Is there another way to get this working? Thanks, Urs

The SD card has to be formatted. If it still says SD full, then more than likely the card is bad. I had that happen to one of my cards. A new card fixed it. Thanks, Jim

In my Experience, the micro sd with adapter, does not work fine, because when I was using that memory, in many times appeared a message saying "The memory card cannot be read". I changed the SD card with other model like Sandisk sdh, and work fine.

I tried with my external drive and could not get it to read. Now, it may have been the cable acting up (the quality out of the box was poor), or it may be that the drive is too large to be recognized. As I recall, you are limited to 32GB on the mini-SD card, so the same limit may apply to this as well.

When I take 1 of my micro sd cards out my psp is unable to read it and wantsmto format it, however I dont want to format it. So my guess is that it does work because it recognizes it but cant read it probably because ive put memory on both while inserted in the adapter.

Sorry to hear that the card was corrupted. They should try to fix it. Nevertheless, I think you can try going to the IGO website (http://www.igonavigation.com/map-updates-and-extras) and see if you can buy it from there and write it on a Micro SD. Good Luck!

I've been using a Sandisk SD card with it for about a year now and haven't had any problems. I use it for pictures, files and songs. What do you have on it - it could be the base of the problem.

I experienced the same problem. It's not software problem. Most likely it's from poor contact between SD card and device. After inserting SD card, push or wiggle gently the USB port side tip of SD card until the second light (blue) from right comes on. Then the device will start reading the SD card.
