    Yes. Up to 32GiB SDHC cards formatted FAT32 by default are fine and you can use as-is. The 64GiB HDXC cards use a different format which is not recognised by any Garmin units to date. You cannot reformat them with Windows, you need to use a 3rd party software to format to FAT32 and that will probably void the card's warranty if it fails with the FAT32t format. Just be aware that you will eventually run up against the map numbers and total tile number limits with these big cards so it gets to the point where you have no advantage because the unit just cannot see the additional maps.
