Ummm, actually i think the speed (class) only refers to write speeds. As the device does not normally write info to the card, in a Garmin unit the speed is irrelevant as the read speed is the same in sdhc cards.

I have the majority of my maps (14 Gig) stored on the Etrex SD card in another folder that is not seen by the Garmin System. I swap out (copy) the maps I need between the SD MAP and SD storage folders so that the Etrex tile limit of 3000 is never exceeded, works fine!
I never store maps in the internal Extrex memory so if the system breaks I can just ghost back the system from storage or Full reset without loss.
By doing it THE FILE TRANSFERS this way I always have the right map for the right location on hand.

1xxx, 2xxx, 3xxx can use at least 64GiB microSDXC reformatted to FAT32. 64GiB is the largest i've tried so far but i'm sure larger will work ok in them too. I don't think the problem is in the actual size of the card, but in the sheer number of maps and map tiles that a large card could physically hold. It would easily exceed the unit's capabilities to read them. I've yet to try a really large card in an older Nuvi, like 2xx etc.

Hi,
Only 8 Gb for Montana ?
I have a Sandisk 64 Gb reformatted in FAT 32 filled with .jnx and .img files which works well under the limit of 4000 map tiles accepted by Montana.
