4GB seems like it's likely to work.
8GB I've heard nothing about; I'm hoping it'll fly.
Garmin support seems to be scatter-brained about this.
In some places it states 2GB is the max:

But, inside in another place it states 4GB is the new max in order to support their new maps via microSD cards:

What about 8GB?
What about microSD vs. microSDHC?
.
The updated firmware allows cards up to 4GB now.
There's not much sense in using a larger card because there's nothing really that you would be able to put on there that the unit can use.
The unit will only recognize a map file up to 2GB with 2025 map segments so a 8GB would be of little value.
