I did a search and did not find a result on the Navigator 6 micro SD memory card so I figure I will share what I have found.
Using a mirco sd card for extra memory with the navigator means that it has to be in the Fat32 format.
Its my understanding that a 32gb micro sd card card can be easily formatted to Fat32 but the larger sized 64gb needs to be formatted.

Sd cards have different data speed rates so I bought a "3" or "10" depending on the standard. My window 10 would not format the volume using the usual right click format the dirve to Fat32 as it was not an option. Here is what I used and it worked great to format.
First open Command Prompt as an administrator (you can do this through the Start button). Now you need to enter some commands:
Format SD card to FAT32 in Windows 10 with Diskpart.
"diskpart" then press Enter.
"list volume" then press Enter.
Type "select volume x", where x is the drive letter, then press Enter.
Type "format fs = fat32", press Enter.
Wait for the completion of the formatting of the SD card into FAT32 on your Windows 10 computer.
Edit!!! I tried this method above and it did not work! Garmin Express did not reconize the 64gb micro sd card. I installed a 32gm card which worked.
