Uploading and Downloading Garmin nüvi 2519LM Data

ExpertGPS can transfer Garmin nüvi 2519LM waypoints, routes, and tracks through your computer's USB port. It only takes a second or two to download all of the data from your Garmin using ExpertGPS.

Maximize your GPS Memory

Your Garmin nüvi 2519LM has limited storage space for waypoints, routes, and tracks. Once you reach that limit, your GPS can't hold any more data. Smart ExpertGPS users have figured out how to eke out every last bit of memory space on their Garmin GPS receivers. Before each outdoor adventure or visit to a project site, they use ExpertGPS to back up the contents of their GPS, and then clear the GPS data memory. They can then download as much data as possible onto their GPS (leaving some room for GPS data collection out in the field). When they get back, they use ExpertGPS to upload all of their Garmin waypoints, routes, and tracks onto their computer and save it. Once they've backed up the new data from their GPS, they can clear the memory again, keeping their GPS ready for their next trip.


Backup your Garmin nüvi 2519LM waypoints, routes, and tracks

Backup your nüvi 2519LM waypoints, routes, and tracks by using ExpertGPS to transfer them to your laptop or desktop computer. Now you've got a safe back-up of all of the important data on your nüvi 2519LM, and use ExpertGPS to find and create new waypoints, routes, and tracks to download to your Garmin GPS. Before you update your Garmin nüvi 2519LM firmware or install a custom basemap, Garmin recommends that you backup all of your GPS data. ExpertGPS gives you the peace-of-mind that your Garmin nüvi 2519LM data is always safe.

Real 1:24000 USGS Topo Maps

View your Garmin nüvi 2519LM waypoints, routes, and tracks over USGS topo maps and aerial photos. These are actual 1:24000 scale topographic maps from the US Geological Survey, giving you much more terrain detail than the maps that came with your Garmin.

Give your maps a professional look

ExpertGPS comes preloaded with all the line patterns and cartographic styles you need to draw highways, railroad tracks, transmission lines, streams, and more.
