Data Card 2Gb Blank for Garmin GPSMAP Navigator - Page 2

DRZ Charlie · 06-11-2012, 10:20 PM

I received mine today (6/12/12). I have made the swap, chose the maps I wish to install and I am waiting on the build and install phase.

The maps I have chosen result in a total of 610 Map segments at 1.98GB

I will report back when the process is finished. EDIT: This works great! I now have CNNA, Americas Autoroute Basemap, and the following state topos - Missouri, Arkansas, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado and Oklahoma.

Everything works as it should. I consider this a very good buy and quality of workmanship seems very good as well (as noted above). More importantly my 276c has better versatility is now much improved.

Great Charlie---and thanks for the e-mail about this thread.

This is great !!!!

I think I still got a couple really small data cards hanging around---so I can keep my 512MB cards.

I know what I'm getting for Christmas this year

This might be a stupid question, but since I'm like that I'll ask anyway

Do I have to use a 512 Garmin card, or will this work on a 128 Garmin memory stick? I have a couple 128 cards, if that will work..

speedracertdi · 06-22-2012, 10:06 AM

It will work with any Garmin card. You're just using the case not the board/ chipset. I've ordered the 2G chip, waiting for it to arrive. A fellow inmate was gracious enough to give me a dead 32M card he had so I can used the case from it. Once the chip gets here, i'll put it all together and pop it in and see how well it works.

On another note. What's to stop us from just installing the 2G chipset and using some thin foam to support it in the GPS unit? Seems like that should work and save us from having to buy a Garmin card for the case or gut a good card for the upgrade.

Got my card today. I posted a how to in the GPS section. It was pretty easy to do. Link below to the how to.

Quick question - what program did you use to transfer the data and what GPS did you use it in?

I would be using Mapsource and a GPSMap 478

Thanks

Shoganai · 10-28-2012, 11:35 AM

Does it work w/ 478?

Only 2 gb

I have both 256MB and 512MB cards. When i load them i can get only a maximum of 900 map segments into either one of them. And they both have used about 220MB of the capacity. My question is --Is the card limited by the number of map segments it can hold and / or the actual data storage amount? Does it depend on which condition max's out first?

Limit of 900 parts (segments) is made in the firmware.
