Simply plug the card into your GPS unit and see your exact position on a topographic background as you move along the trail. The card is NOT designed to be used by itself. You’ll still need the book to see photos of the trail, custom map annotations, trail overview, trail rating, vehicle recommendations, trail stats, contact information, and driving tips. The card is compatible with Garmin Drive Series and Garmin Overlander (not TREAD Overland Edition). New Garmin devices using the Garmin TREAD app will not be able to use this card.

Specific waypoints will show as follows.
Start of Trail & Points of Interest (POIs)
Each FunTreks data card includes the start of each trail from the corresponding book as a custom Point of Interest. Once the card has been inserted, some GARMIN devices will ask to import the POIs from the FunTreks data card. We do not recommend importing the POIs to the receiver due to the limited amount of internal memory in most units.
Tracks / Breadcrumb Trails
Tracks that correspond to the complete trail in the book are included on the topographic maps on the data card. Your unit will also show the waypoints that correspond to the waypoints in the book.
NOTE: If the tracks/TOPO lines don’t appear on your device, you may have to disable the on-board maps. This website includes detailed instructions on disabling built-in Nuvi Maps.
Files in GPX Format
All FunTreks Data Cards include GPS Exchange Format (GPX) files that will work with nearly every GPS unit and computer program that supports GPX files. Some tablet devices may be able to read these files as well.
Other Non-Supported Uses for GPX Format
Consult the user manual for your software/device on how to use GPX data with these applications
