GPS Map 60Cx Maximum MicroSD Card Size?

waltgary · 08-22-2008, 5:00 PM

Hi: I'm relatively new to this stuff, and brand new to the forum. I've tried searching but no luck.

On the above unit, does anyone know what is the max size card I can use? I asked Garmin and was told that 4 gig cards "probably would work".

I can get the City Navigator on my 2 gig card but would like two 4 gig cards for my US and Canada topo maps. Based on what I was told, I've already ordered them and hopefully won't have to send them back.

Thanks, gary

I'm no help, but just wanted to give you a

and welcome to the site!

Let us know if the 4 gig works. I've heard 8 work too but can't confirm.

Ok, I tried them to no avail. It turns out I belive (and I'm a noob so YMMV) that the max size is determined by the number of mapsets, not card capacity. So, if I'm straight on this, I can transfer just under 2k mapsets no matter how big the card.

On the plus side, at 30 bucks delivered for the pair of 4gig micro SD's from newegg.com, I'm not out anything. This is because they work fine anyway, and I'd have paid more at Target for a single 2gig card.

So, all's well that ends well.
