SD card size? (anyone tried the SDHC 8GB or 16GB)

 

What's the biggest capacity SD card people use on their Garmin?

Have anyone tried the SDHC 8GB or 16GB?

I know it works with SDHC 4GB as Garmin support web site posted.

SD card size..

While some of the new Garmin models may work with SDHC sized cards (generally, greater than 2GB), a lot of the readers out there, both in computers and as accessories to them, may have problems.

We had a run-in with an HDSC card last weekend, with my daughter wanting to edit some video a friend shot -- and it was stored on a HDSC card. The quickest solution was for her to get the camera, and then transfer the data to her Mac for processing.

Not only do you need to be sure your readers will take HDSC, you should be sure everything in the USB chain is USB 2.0 as well, to handle higher data rates -- if I'd plugged a USB HDSC reader into a USB 1.1 hub, we'd probably still be transferring data!

I'm sticking with 2GB as the max, as they're relatively cheap, and work with most everything I've got.

8 gigs?

Wow, you must have quite a collection of poi's! grin My 512Mb only has 2Mb's stored right now. But then again, I don't use it for Mp3's etc.
