Actually, 8GB cards are relatively new, sub one year I believe. And it's nice to know that these cards are supported. Many devices have a 2 or 4 gb limit, like my phone for example. A google should yield some of these cards sub $50 depending on brand and several different form factors including CF and SD. The 8gb cards are primarily targeted at HD recording devices and cameras in general so watch out for compatibility issues.

Sharonda,I personally use a SanDisk 8GB CompactFlash card that contains the maps for the entire United States along with the Oxford Concise Dictionary and Thesaurus. I personally chose this size of card because I want to have the ability to just switch directories when traveling and don't want to have to go through the hastle of downloading and swapping out maps, this is not a difficult task at all. I also have the dictionary files on a single card, so I don't have to swap cards in the case of the PK or have more than one card inserted into the mPower. I think that you can find this size card for roughly $80. This is a major discount compared to what it was a year ago or even a few years ago, I think it was in the range of several hundreds of dollars.Kevin----- Original Message ----- From: "Sharonda Greenlaw" <sbgreenlaw@xxxxxxxxx>To: <gps-talkusers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, October 09, 2007 10:58 AM Subject: [gps-talkusers] Lost Card with MapsHi everyone, Sadly, I'm writing to report that my card with all my Sendero maps has been lost. I know I can download all my information again--what a pain. But what I want to know from more experienced users is what kind of card should I buy? How many gigs and such? Thanks for all help.
