[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 953212, member: 3828"] Yes, that has been written. And I believe that is still Garmin's support position if you ask them. But it just isn't true. Many, many people are successfully using 8 or 16 GB SDHC cards with no ill effects at all. And the larger cards are no slower than the 2GB or 4GB cards either. SD cards are now so cheap, there is no reason not to have more than one. And yes, a 4GB SD card is big enough for 1000 MP3s, but that doesn't leave enough room for a lot of extra maps to be loaded on it. OTOH, if you are an XM subscriber and don't use the space on the SD card for many MP3s then 4GB is plenty of room for the entire NA mapset, plus Topos, if you want them. Sorry, 'Zilla. but no! I already have a Zumo 660 as well as my old 550. And even with its memory limitations I prefer the Zumo 550 for regular use on the bike, for several very important reasons. I don't really want to turn [I]this [/I]thread into a 550 vs 660 pissing match, but I'll gladly start a new one and tell you why I feel that way. [/QUOTE]
