SanDisk MicroSDHC (Class 4) 12GB

I'm just curious what you would do with all that space on a card in a nuvi.

Here are a few sources for 32GB Secure Digital High Capacity Card Class 4 (SDHC).

Same here, what would you use all that space for? I use it to keep my POIs with me at all times and a few pics and songs. However, my coworker (who also has a 350) says that he perfer the ipod (better sound and organization) to his nuvi.

So I am not sure what else you could use it for, can't watch movies on it.

Since I see others commenting that you might not really need so much memory, check out Micro Center Online at

http://www.microcenter.com/

I see they have a 4gb Micro SDHC for only $14.99. It's not brand name but I've bought from them before (have two new ones working fine so far). If you want brand name they have Sandisk at 2gb for only $15.99.

To make effective use of large cards such as these, be sure you have the supporting USB2 infrastructure -- usb2 ports, usb2 hubs, and usb2 card readers/writers. If you don't, it's going to take a LONG time to fill your new card!

As an example, there are a couple of USB2 hubs on the market with built-in support for SD cards, CF, the usual stuff -- except that the card reader/writer part of the package is USB 1.1! It will work, but it's best used for small files.

Can you say "Amazon.com"???

Mama, it is mostly for the Audible.com books that I am interested. And, the reason for that is to convince my hubby-the-reader that he will be entertained for the 20+ hour drives we make going back and forth between Mass. and Mobile, a distance around 1450 miles. His taste in music runs to classical, mine to jazz of all sorts, so we can both listen to the book reader without teeth getting on edge.

And I like a lot of space also for photos or even making the index cards which I just read about. But the most likely use will be for the books.

Currently I am listening to the author read ANGELA'S ASHES, and it is very very moving. This I am doing inside, in the house. The 880 is sucked up to the window by my desk, and I do not have to keep a copy on my laptop. Or, I can listen to it while I am painting the house--inside, of course. I love multi-tasking.

Sigh.....I know what you mean. And I suppose I was trying to avoid getting another "gadget." My husband, who is really the tech trained engineer/scientist (but retired) teases me all the time about my love for new technology--and I end up being the one to set up everything, even the HDTV. I guess I could buy an IPOD, and get some ear phones for him (lost his hearing around GE generators) so he can listen to his music while he reads, or while he is in the workshop, but I hesitate to bring another piece of technology into the house for a while.

I only have one GPS, two digital cameras, a digital camcorder, 2 laptops (one I bought for him), 1 desktop, 2 DVD recorders and 2 LCD HDTVs. Then we have the cordless phones both north and south, and the wireless HP all-in-one and the wireless routers, and my beloved Blackberry Curve, with the BlueTooth earpiece. AND, the digital picture frames, bought several to give as presents, don'tchaknow.

So....do you think I should get an IPOD now or wait to get it as a Christmas present? Am I an addict?

you can get a 16g sandisk for 119 with a usb cardreader at govconnection.

As far as "what do you need all that space for? I have 12g of music alone on that card and 2 other ones that I rotate on a regular basis

Make it a Touch.

They have WiFi - and an email client, web browser, and you can add iPhone apps that will work over the WiFi...and they play music & video too.

Can you tell I have one?

Love the check list, BobDee. A few of the things really hit home--if not for me personally, then for the dear hubby.

And kch/Keith, as the voice of experience, who also owns a Blackberry Curve like myself, I am on my way to check out the Touch. Hope I can understand half of what it can do for me......

Ok. Makes sense for that reason.

Have you come across any sort of limit for the Audio Books like there is for MP3s?

Oh, and I'm all for gadgets and multi-tasking.

But with some of the current limits especially with MP3s (1000 songs) and map file sizes (4 GB), I often wonder when people talk about getting 16 GB card.

Brought a great smile to me after a very glum day at work. Thanks!!!

Hmm...
Plextor offered the 1st 8X CDROM drive in 1996

The Intel 486DX, 50 MHz speed grade was introduced summer 1991, but the 486 series spanned the first half of the 1990's.

Apollo 13 the movie premiered in 1995.

So, the list was probably compiled in 1995 or soon thereafter. Otherwise, it's amazing the list is still very fresh after more than 13 years! Has it been that long?

So far, I've not found a limit. But then I only have 8 books on the micro card. Our trip south is coming up in mid-November though, and I'll put about 4 more on there. It was not long ago that I got my first micro card, only a 4g 6 speed. Having looked online diligently, I could not find any that fast at a greater capacity.
Well, now I know where to look--and for WHAT.

Not sure if many are aware of this but there is a site where free audio book, MP3, AVI and many other downloads are available.

A site that I like to use is www.mininova.org/ Enter your search and download. The more seeds the faster you'll get the file(s) you want.

You’ll need to download uTorrent to manage the downloads and this is available through a link on the www.mininova.org/ site. ISOHUNT is another search/download site you can use to find audio books or MP3's for your GPS.

Just be aware that most of the files are copyrighted and being illegally shared. Mininova and other bit torrent sites that can be used to find them don't store the actual files. They reside on other people's machines and as you're downloading, other people will be downloading from you.

Lots of people do it but that doesn't make it legal or safe.
