Ensure the micro SD memory card is installed in your nuvi. Push it into the slot to make sure it is secured before you plug your device into your computer.
2.
Download and install Garmin's Mapinstall software [see Resource link].
3.
Plug your Garmin nuvi into your computer with the mini USB cable and launch the Mapinstall software.
4.
Select your Garmin nuvi from the list of connected devices the Mapinstall software discovered. This should be only one device, unless you plugged several nuvi devices into your computer.
5.
Select the micro SD card as the install location and click "Continue." This will install the maps.
Plug your GPS into your PC, it will mount as a hard drive. You can then open the folders and delete content. As easier solution is to put a 8gb micro SD card in the SD card slot. Garmin Express will allow you to put additional maps on the SD card.
Try using a compatible SD card to have Garmin Express load all 49 states to the SD card. It is possible that you do not have enough free memory in your NUVI 350 for all 49 states.
On some units, they won't click. You slide the micro SD card into the slot and you will feel a slight resistance. Continue to slide the card in until it stops. It will only slide in one way. This is exactly how the micro SD card slides into a standard SD adapter. There is no click. If you connect the GPS to a PC using the USB data cable, your PC should recognize (2) memory devices; (1) The GPS and (2) the SD card. It may take a few moments. Wait a few minutes until you see both appear in Windows. Always select EJECT or SAFELY REMOVE before you remove the USB data cable.
A micro SD card is the correct memory card for the 14xx series. A 2 GB should be just fine. Some units can not handle a large memory SD card. This has nothing to do with the physical size however.
Are you sure it isn't a micro SD card that is inserted into a standard SD card adapter? A standard SD card is much larger and will not fit into the 14xx series. Look at the end of the SD card that does not have the gold pins and see if there is a ridge where the micro SD card may be inserted into the larger standard SD adapter. Using a fingernail, you can slide the micro SD card out from the SD card adapter. Also, the micro SD card will only insert one way. Try flipping it over and inserting it again, always with the gold pins facing the Nuvi.
To set up a map on the micro SD card you can follow the instructions on http://www.fixya.com/support/r5628920-update_garmin_satnav_maps Don't download directly to the micro SD card as it won't be recognised by your satnav. Download to the computer and install from the computer to the card as described at the above link.
