A very nice translation above from the Garmin German site, who maybe think 'ze var' is not over yet?

One of the Garmin sites (i can't recall, but i think it was US) once blithley stated in their FAQ's, 'There is no limitation to the size of SD/microSD card used but the device will only recognize 4GB (in some old devices 2GB) of detailed mapping ....', as quoted by Caty in Post #1. I recall seeing that and thinking 'Yeah, what a Crock... i bet they back away from that when cards get really big!'. Hence my '(in theory?)' quip in the post above Caty's. Post #1 was made only 18 months ago so the claim would have been current at least until Sept 2010, and probably somewhat later than that.

I looked up the present FAQ's on the AU site, which links to the UK site anyway (lazy sods), and also looked at the present FAQ's on the US site. Different format, but same info on both UK & US, which is a BIG back-off from 'There is no limitation etc"!. There are some glaring differences to the Germans who's info is also far more complete as to range. At first glance, you could think that maybe it is just the usual Teutonic precision, but if that is so then the US/UK figures would simply be sloppy and almost as careless as 'There is no limitation...':

Look at the Nuvi claims for instance. 16GB for all Nuvis according to the Yanks & Poms. Nicht so! Nur die 3xxx und 7x5 Serie 16GB verarbeiten kann! according to the German site. Well Heinz, i'm running a 16GB Class 10 in my 1300 and it performs the same with any of 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16GB cards, just a bit slower to load all the maps with bigger cards which is understandable. My friend's 1350 runs 32GB without problems he says. Wotcha say to that? I might spring for a 64GB micro sd when the price comes down a tad, just to see if that bogs my nuvi.

What's the rest of the Garmin world claiming, is there any conflicting info on other sites?. Der Krieg goes on.....
