Can your computer read the GPS SD Card from 2010 mazda 3 or mazdaspeed 3?
I insert the SD into the SD Card Reader, however, my computer cannot recognise the card, and shows there is no card in the reader.
If you can read the card, could you screen shot the content in the root of the SD card.
I am wondering if this GPS is Windows CE based GPS system, then we can swap the software to other windows CE based, such as Tomtom, Garmin, or Navigon.
These gps software have more recently maps than the stock one.

More than likely a special file format, so you're S-O-L.

Was the SD card given to us owners on delivery? If so, where should I be looking?

If you have the Navigation there is a cover to the left of the Navigation screen that you need to take off and the SD card is inside.

I wish there was a way to hack into the program allowing updates during driving....

Mostly, the GPS system will not be special system, because it cause too much to develop an individual cause too much for an automobile company as mazda.

So does that mean we can use other SD cards from Garmin or TomTom??

Denso makes the GPS Nav units for Mazda

There's a way, you've just got to know what to look for.

I asked in another thread how come this wasn't free online yet. I now understand the SD card appears that it wont read. This was half expected of me, but I'm confident Linux will change how much 'access' I'm granted. $5 says the only protection they were able to implement on those works for Windows and Mac only.

Funny.. I have a 2011 speed 3.. my GPS SD is 2010.. It's 2018 pretty much.. I'd like to find a way to update maps. since there's been new shit going up around me.

Got an SD card today from friend. It's a 2018 GPS MAP from a CX9. Any reason why when I transfer files to another SD card that my car can't read the SD card?. Tell's me to please insert an official card. Now, are theses Mazda SD cards locked? Cause, I have the 2018 files on my laptop now.. I was going to start to dig thru them to see what I can find, and if I can get a work around.

When, I insert my 2010 SD card into laptop.. it takes a long time for the virus scan to say 'Scan Directory' yes or no.. and I find that my computer acts funny when it's inserted like, browsers will start to read, non responsive. and shit gets bogged down. When I try to open up the drive on computer, it reads please insert, when the card is inside the computer very strange.. But, when I inserted the 2018 card from the CX9 it worked like a charm. no problems what's so ever.
