OnX in a vehicle

[CForest]

I recently got a ford pickup that has factory navigation in it. I know it can take a sd card that's how it gets the updated streets and such. Can I put my OnX chip in there??

This would probably be a good question to ask in the OnX questions sticky thread. Or consult with Ford. Or just try it.

Not in mine, map needs to have navigable roads to work.

I thought about trying it, but will wait till after season. I'd hate for something to happen to my chip ha. Thought id just see if someone had experience with it

I don't expect to get turn by turn with the chip in it, just want it to show private & public land

Generally in-vehicle factory GPS units only have SD slots for manufacturer specific updates. The onXmaps chips are only designed to be compatible with Garmin GPS units. If you have a Garmin nuvi navigation unit they are apparently compatible with the onXmaps chip according to their website.

mine would not load because the map was non navigable.

oh ok I get what your saying now. That makes sense. Its not a big deal, just crossed my mind as I was driving around today that it would be pretty handy at times just to have it up on the screen. Thanks guys

Get a Garmin Nuvi, I have one and the chip works in it just fine you can pick up a Nuvi cheap
