      What is the largest capacity microSD card that can be installed?

      Are there any other limitations to size?

        I’m running 1 GIG which is enough for me to have about 45 states if memory serves….but that is with an old copy of Mapsource.

          I have used a 2gb in mine, that could hold all of metroguide V7 and a few states of topo 2008.
          If I were looking at newer maps, I would get the NT version of city navigator. It’s compressed differently and uses less map segments, this allows you to load the whole US onto a 1gb card. This would leave 1gb free space on a 2gb card so you could load even more topo maps then(there is a 2025 map segment limit).

            Sounds good to me. I’ve put a 2gb on my Christmas list. Thanks for the info.

              This might be a good Christmas list item from one of your kids. You can pick one up at NewEgg.com for under $20. These things have gotten very cheap lately.

                I picked up one (2gig) today from newegg for $24 but it included a USB adapter and two other adapters for using the card in larger devises.

                  Can I use NT with my Vista Hcx? I have a 2 GIG card and I have TOPO 2008 loaded for everything east of the Rockies with room to spare.

                    Looks like it, but the website is ambiguous due to the unit being so new. I’d call Garmin and ask before I bought it.
